Remnant vegetation provides important refuge and recruitment areas for both flora and fauna. The relevant National Estate criterion is A.2, which refers to `importance in maintaining existing processes or natural systems at the regional or national scale'. This analysis focuses on remnant forest patches located within highly modified environments.

This database is a digital polygon coverage of Tasmania (captured at 1: 25 000 scale) detailing the locations of remnant patches of forest vegetation. Remnant vegetation is coded with a unique number and the relevant National Estate values and criteria.
