The Tarkine is one of the world's great wild places. It is an expansive 447,000 hectare wilderness area of recognised World Heritage significance in the North-West corner of Tasmania, Australia's island state. The Tarkine contains remarkable natural and cultural values, including one of the world's most significant remaining tracts of temperate rainforest.

The Tarkine National Coalition seeks, through research, public education, lobbying and grass-roots support, to have the natural and cultural values of the Tarkine protected for all time. The TNC actively promotes the tourism potential of the Tarkine.
