Case Details

Regional forest agreements (RFAs) in Australia

Regional Forest Agreements (RFAs) are 20-year plans for the conservation and sustainable management of Australia's native forests. There are 10 RFAs in four States: Western Australia, Victoria, Tasmania and New South Wales. The Agreements provide certainty for forest-based industries, forest-dependent communities and conservation. They are the result of years of scientific study, consultation and negotiation covering a diverse range of interests. The website contains many historical documents that show the detailed scientific, economic and social processes which underpinned the development of each RFA.
