Rosebery Mine: Australian protests over MMG waste storage plan Environmental News Rosebery, Australia – On June 17, Anthony Houston was arrested after trying to block all industrial traffic on the island of Tasmania, in the southern Australian state of the rainforest. A local businessman and farmer put up a chair in the middle of an entrance path to protest the clearing of a large part of a 439,000-acre (1,085,000-acre) old forest tree. , Known as Tarkine or Takanya. Tarkine, remote and sparsely populated, is home to many endangered species and has rugged coastal heaths, grassy forests and diverse landscapes that make up Gondwana-era vegetation, helping to form Australia’s largest tropical rainforest. It also includes a mine owned by the China Minerals and Metals Group, which aims to clean up a 285-hectare (704-hectare) area – roughly the equivalent of about 350 football pitches – for a new mining waste storage facility, also known as a tailings mine.
