Episode Synopsis

What is the value of wilderness? It's a complex and enthralling question that, practically and philosophically, Martin Hawes discusses in the context of Lake Pedder.Martin is a researcher, wilderness consultant and photographer, who recalls his teenage trip to the original Lake Pedder, he explains why you won't see the Pedder Impoundment in his photographs, and we scratch the surface on the wilderness impacts and value of Pedder, impounded today and restored in the near future. ‘Unexplored’ is Martin’s new book.
