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.
