The Tarkine (indigenous name: takayna) is an area of the north west Tasmania, Australia, which environmental non-government organisations (ENGOs) claim contains significant areas of wilderness.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Tasmanian Forest Agreement Verification: Advice to Prime Minister and Premier of Tasmania Interim Reserve Boundaries )〕 The Tarkine is noted for its beauty and natural values, containing the largest area of Gondwanan cool-temperate rainforest in Australia,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Tarkine national heritage assessment )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Tarkine ecological facts and statistics )〕 as well as for its prominence in Tasmania's early mining history.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Gold in Tasmania )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Osmiridium in Tasmania )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Stanley River Tin Field )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Mount Bischoff Tin Field )〕 The area's high concentration of Aboriginal sites has led to it being described by the Australian Heritage Council as "one of the world's great archaeological regions".〔Richards, Thomas; Sutherland-Richards, Phillipa (1992). "Archaeology". In: Harries, D.N. (editor). ''Forgotten Wilderness: North-West Tasmania. A Report to the Australian Heritage Commission''. Hobart: Tasmanian Conservation Trust.〕 ==Location== The Tasmanian government defines the Tarkine as an "unbounded locality" centred in the Waratah-Wynyard council area. The generally accepted definition is the area between the Arthur River in the North, the Pieman River in the south, the ocean to the west and the Murchison Highway in the east. It was first officially recognised in May, 2013, following a recommendation by the Nomenclature Board of Tasmania which was accepted by Bryan Green. He declared that the name applied to the whole north-west region of Tasmania, but this interpretation was rejected by the Cradle Coast Authority, which had requested the official naming. The name does not appear in maps, but in recent decades has featured prominently in the Australian media as a subject of contention between conservationists and mining/logging interests. The Tarkine can be entered from several points, with the most common being via Sumac Road from the north, Corinna in the south, Waratah in the west and Wynyard from the north-east. Wynyard has an interstate airport and sealed road access into the Tarkine. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tarkine」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
