Wilderness Acts protect wild country in several jurisdictions around the world.
It is possible that the marketing will win out and the Three Capes Track will become a popular iconic walking experience but a more probable future is envisaged.
The development of the Three Capes Track has dramatically reduced the wild character of parts of Tasman National Park.
The wilderness character of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area is a fundamental underpinning to the area’s World Heritage and other values.
The release of the 2014 Draft Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area Management Plan has realised the our worst fears, including a clear aim to increase commercial tourism access to, and development of, the TWWHA.
Our aim is responsible long-term management of Tasmania's natural and cultural resources, which will place Tasmania in the forefront of environmental conservation and sustainable management.
