Clear-fell logging, following regeneration burn some eight months after logging

Clear-fell logging, following regeneration burn some eight months after logging. These regeneration burns send massive amounts of carbon into the atmosphere in the form of carbon dioxide, significantly contributing to global warming, but every autumn the procedure has the State government's approval and more and more burns occur each year, covering the state in smoke haze. Note the World Heritage Area forest on the mountain slopes behind. Meander Valley, Tasmania, Australia
