Defending Island Ecologies

Environmental Campaigns in Tasmania and Taiwan

Leader University, Taiwan

Pete Hay

University of Tasmania,Australia

The article compares and contrasts the iconic environmental campaigns of two island jurisdictions, Tasmania and Taiwan–the Franklin-Gordon ‘wild rivers’ campaign in the first case; the Chilan Forest campaign in the second. The features of each campaign are delineated–the levels of government involved; the institutional fault lines that developed; the scale of campaign operations; activist tactics; and the significance, within their respective contexts, of each iconic campaign. How each campaign ‘fits’ a wider context of environmental activism is sketched, and the article concludes with an agenda for future cross-island research into environmental activism.

Key Words: activism • campaigns • environment • islands • Taiwan • Tasmania
