Note: Highlighted vegetation <strong>types</strong> are those <strong>for</strong> which the proportion lost to clearing has been high, or the<br />
proportion in reserves falls below the relevant target level of 15, 60 or 100 per cent depending on the rarity of<br />
or degree of threat to remaining stands (JANIS 1996). Numbers are taken from Table 3.1 in Keith and<br />
Bedward (1 998) and are derived from the CRA vegetation model and extant vegetation map. However, this<br />
state of the vegetation report shows that the CRA vegetation model and extant vegetation map may<br />
overestimate or underestimate the area of the vegetation <strong>types</strong> which it assesses in detail, and presumably<br />
there<strong>for</strong>e of others as well. The figures should not be taken as being highly accurate. For example, the<br />
proportion of vegetation <strong>types</strong> 1, 18, 20, 21 and 36 in reserves is exaggerated. Appendix 2 (p. 111) provides<br />
detailed in<strong>for</strong>mation <strong>for</strong> some of the highlighted vegetation <strong>types</strong>.<br />
