Earth First: The Struggle to Save Australia's Rainforest (1982)

During the last 200 years of white colonization of Australia, three-quarters of the forests were cleared. Terania Creek, Nightcap Range, Franklin River, Cape Tribulation, and the Daintree Forest are among the most valuable forests facing increasing threats from development. This documentary explains why rainforests are so important to Australia and how people are fighting to protect them. It discusses the Australian wilderness, habitats, ecosystems, and the Australian environmental movement that emerged to defend them. The movement is depicted through footage from Australia's major events of the 1970s and 1980s.
