Mapping the wilderness
An environmental scientist and his colleagues have just finished mapping Australia's remaining wilderness areas - the first time it has been done in 40 years. The project shows that true wilderness areas have declined in area by at least 20%, and raises questions about how wilderness is defined. Guest: James Watson, Professor of Environmental Science, University of QLD . Australian mapping commissioned by the Wilderness Society in 2024. Producer: Ann Arnold
