Climate change threatens the fifth continent. On Australia’s southeast coast, many people ensure that nature remains intact. A tour of the protected treasure.

A group of children hike into the Minnamurra Rainforest. In this pristine nature you will experience how wild the forests on Australia’s southeast coast once looked, even before colonization in the second half of the 18th century. In the time before that, the jungle stretched to the border of today’s state of Victoria.
