The article compares and contrasts the iconic environmental campaigns of two island jurisdictions, Tasmania and Taiwan–the Franklin-Gordon 'wild rivers' campaign in the first case; the Chilan Forest campaign in the second. The features of each campaign are delineated–the levels of government involved; the institutional fault lines that developed; the scale of campaign operations; activist tactics; and the significance, within their respective contexts, of each iconic campaign. How each campaign 'fits' a wider context of environmental activism is sketched, and the article concludes with an agenda for future cross-island research into environmental activism.
