End to an End | Running to save the Great Forest - Episode 1

Ultra-runner, Majell Backhausen runs 273km, from Wandong to Mt. Baw Baw, crossing through the lands of the Taungurung, Wurundjeri and GunnaiKurnai people.
Through his eyes, we experience the rare beauty of the Victorian Central Highlands in Australia and meet the determined individuals and organisations working tirelessly to protect these lands for the benefit of us all. These unique forests are home to the critically endangered Leadbeater's Possum and the Baw Baw Frog, among many other creatures and plants found almost nowhere else on Earth.
This film series explores the life of an unique and precious ecosystem on the doorstep of Melbourne and advocates for why its biodiversity, water, and culture should be protected.

We’ll done Maj and team. Love this!!! Staggered by the beauty and richness of this country. So hard to capture on film… Congratulations to the campaigners who’ve fought tirelessly to stop logging. All strength to the arm of the campaigners who build the case for the great forest National park. Wonderful humans y’all.

[@fernandotabora]

Great film! Really looking forward to part 2

[@marilynwargo6288]

You have to ask why?! Even for money this is so bad. Wrong. The harm done! Outrageous.

[@ULTRA1BOB]

It's so painful to look at the logged areas in the video. It's even more painful to see logged areas in person.

Hi! How are you?
This is Friday.
COVID-19, Ukraine, Turkiye, and Syria are still in progress. I hope it will be resolved in a positive direction as soon as possible.
And I hope you are healthy and full of good things on weekends and holidays.
Thank you very much.

The Victorian timber industry is one of the most highly regulated in the world, builders mostly rely on imported timber due to shortage of local timber being logged. Local timber is more sustainable then shipping wood from the other side of the world 💁

[@AshRolls]

Here we see someone who knows the cost of everything and the value of nothing.

[@CaptaNovious]

There is also the option of PLANTING trees on arid, barren land - active "forestation" . Not re-forestation to replace the trees that have already been cut down, but planting and growing trees specifically FOR wood production. We humans are already pushing the envelope with our rate of consumption. The very least we can do is PLAN for what we consume instead of gnawing at the roots of the eco-systems we depend on.

[@robertlynn9667]

how exactly does running (by itself) save the forest? other than to make one feel good about ones self

[@adambubba1982]

This is a complex issue. Not as simple as saying “not in my backyard.”
Everyone needs to understand that paper will come from somewhere.
