Conservation management
Apart from the seven national parks comprising the TWWHA (see here), there are an additional twelve national parks in Tasmania. These and numerous other conservation reserves total some 42% of the state’s land area. Many of these reserves are not secure from various threats, and there are a wide range of other management and development issues of concern.

The Tasmanian National Parks Association offers an independent voice for Tasmania’s national parks and reserves, to ensure they are managed for the conservation of the values for which they were proclaimed.
