PTWC Special Report Series. Part 1: What is the West Coast?

In the first part of our series from the recent Protect the West Coast (PTWC) Special Report ‘The Tipping Point’, we look at the natural environment and people of the West Coast and delve into its geography, ecology and social fabric. Renowned for its stark but beautiful landscapes and vulnerable fauna and flora, the region faces imminent threats by unethical mining and government exploitation. Fragile and vulnerable, the interdependent elements of nature and humankind are ancient and unique, and they require protection before they are lost.
