The Effects of Forestry Practices on Wildlife in Australia: A Review

Abstract

Because each species varies in its dependence on the forest as habitat it is clearly impossible to satisfy all their requirements by a single management plan. The setting aside of a representative series of large reserves and National Parks, establishment of individual or groups of species as the objectives of management programmes in some areas and modification of existing forestry practices, however, should allow both commercial timber production and conservation of wildlife in Australian forests.
