They include the jarrah, karri, and wandoo ecosystems individually reported in the discussion paper, A new forest management plan for Western Australia, released by the Conservation Commission of Western Australia in January 2002. The areas are given for the categories requested, depicted by the reserve status proposed in the discussion paper. CAR reserves include informal reserves on Commonwealth land. Non-CAR reserves include other informal reserves and areas of old-growth forest remaining in State forest. (3) Forests not included in (1) occur on land managed by the Department of Conservation and Land Management: within the reported ecosystems on Executive Director freehold land and miscellaneous reserves within both the RFA area and the area covered by the discussion paper; in the karri south coast ecosystem, and as components of the Darling Scarp, Dandaragan Plateau, Swan Coastal Plain, and Western Wheatbelt ecosystems within the RFA area; described as forest associations within the remaining area covered by the discussion paper, and extending into the surrounding regions. Aggregation of various data sets (of varying currency) provides the following indicative figures: (a) Jarrah, 16,000 ha; karri, 2,400 ha; wandoo, 1,600 ha.
