Density of threatened flora species habitat
Key Finding
Almost one-third of threatened flora pre-clear habitat has been cleared across Queensland, with 10% of remaining habitat protected within a national park.
Modelling identifies 82 million hectares of pre-clear habitat for 700 currently threatened terrestrial flora species. High densities of pre-clearing threatened flora habitat were found in the South East Queensland, Wet Tropics and New England Tablelands bioregions.
High densities of threatened flora habitat remained in South East Queensland, Wet Tropics and New England Tablelands bioregions in 2017.
Across Queensland, 32% of pre-clearing threatened flora habitat had been cleared by 2017.
Of the habitat that was remnant vegetation in 2017, only 10.2% was protected within a national park.
