Description
The goal of the Gondwana Forest Sanctuary campaign is to create an international, intercontinental sanctuary
for the world's southernmost forests - those with evolutionary roots on the ancient
supercontinent of Gondwana. This sanctuary would initially include all remaining native forests south
of 40 degrees latitude, and would include parts of southernmost South America, New Zealand,
Tasmania, and mainland Australia, and may encompass other areas with Gondwannic forests. Through this
cross-continental approach, the Gondwana Campaign seeks to foster a greater ethic of
pride in, respect for and conservation of the unique forests of the southern hemisphere. Protected areas
such as national and provincial or state parks would be linked through a series of reserves,
allowing the ancient Gondwannic forests and associated flora and fauna to flourish and evolve.
