Reserves granted highest environmental protection the world can bestow
The Tasmanian Land Conservancy is very pleased to share the news that our Skullbone Plains Reserve in the Central Highlands, and our Liffey Reserve in the Great Western Tiers, were formally added to the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area at the 37th session of the World Heritage Committee in June 2013.
The Australian Government have now formally enshrined that status in the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Cth). So, it’s official!
This ground breaking addition of private land to the “World Heritage Area” register means Skullbone Plains (pictured above) and Liffey have been formally recognised for their globally significant values for nature conservation.
