  • Environment Tasmania Response to QON 270213
    February 2012 Dear Chairman, RE: Legislative Council Select Committee on the Tasmanian Forests Agreement I am writing responding to the request from the Legislative Council Select Committee for further information on the conservation values of the proposed reserves for consideration under the Tasmanian Forests Agreement. In addition to the joint ENGO submission, the tabled documents and our two presentations to the legislative council, I am hoping that the following information may provide additional assistance. 1. The Independent Verification Group Conservation reports As previously referenced in our written and face-to-face presentations to the committee, the Independent Verification Group conducted a comprehensive and rigorous scientific analysis of the conservation values contained in the forests proposed for reservation by the ENGOs under the IGA. The conservation assessment was led by Professor Brendan Mackey and included work completed by a range of highly respected conservation experts, including Dr Michael Lockwood, Peter Hitchcock AM, Professor Chris Johnson, Dr Menna Jones, Dr Peter McQuillan, amongst others. These experts conducted a suite of conservation analyses of the proposed reserves against 10 key conservation criteria. The ten criteria (see Figure 1.) used by the IVG scientists to assess the conservation values of the proposed reserves are established in Australian Government forest, biodiversity and environmental conservation commitments as articulated in international law (Convention on Biological Diversity, World Heritage Convention), Commonwealth law and national policy statements. These include the ‘JANIS-CAR’ criteria, established in a 1997 report outlining the ‘Nationally Agreed Criteria for the Establishment of a Comprehensive Adequate and Representative Reserve System for Forests in Australia.’ JANIS-CAR is a formal methodology which reflects foundational conservation values which inform Australia’s National Biodiversity Strategy, the National Reserve System and Australia’s commitments under the Convention on Biological Diversity.
