" Stretching from the wheatbelt to the Nullarbor Plain, this is the largest intact temperate woodland left on earth. In fact, it is about the same size as England.
But it's not just size that makes it so special, it has incredible species richness. The GWW has around 3000 species of flowering plants, a fifth of all known flora in Australia. It also supports an array of mammals, reptiles, frogs and birds. Aboriginal occupation is currently dated back 22,000 years and it is also a place of cultural significance. "

Intact? About 75% of that has been clear felled - in places more than once. See goldfields woodlines.
ReplyDeleteGranted it recovers well but the species mix may not be what it originally was.
I wonder if they actually mean non-fragmented?
