The Minister for Environment provides the following response:
Data is not available on the actual area of forest available for harvest that provides habitat for numbats however; they can potentially use broad areas of forest as habitat.
The Forest Management Plan 2014-2023
aims to conserve the biological diversity of south-west forest in the plan area. This is achieved by a range of measures including fauna habitat zones which complement formal reserves in the area of forest where known numbat populations are densest, to the north-east of Manjimup and in Batalling forest block, east of Collie.
