Wilderness Journal Volume 2

Wilderness Journal, a celebration of nature, science, culture and art. 

Now you can hold these fascinating stories in your hands, in The Wilderness Society's very own nature book, a celebration of nature, science, culture and art. 

Through rivers, deserts and rainforests, find stories and pictures of whales, koalas and giant dragonflies. There's the record-breaking run from the top of the continent to the bottom, the search for the elusive night parrot, moments from the campaign to save the Franklin, the hunt for mythic chanterelle mushrooms, and more besides.

"When someone feels lost, the words in a book start to awaken the spirit again."

Bunna Lawrie, Mirning Senior Elder and Whale Songman, founding ambassador for the Wilderness Society's Karajia Award  introduces this special edition of Wilderness Journal. Authors, poets and illustrators, photographers and scientists share their passion and stories of nature and people with  insights into the beauty of wildlife, wild places and what is being done to protect them.

The Wilderness Society began in 1976 — a meeting of just 16 people. The passionate campaign that emerged to save the Franklin River rocked the political orthodoxy and defined a generation. For over 40 years, The Wilderness society has stood at the forefront of Australia’s most historic environmental victories. But our biggest challenges lie in front of us.
