Habitat critical to the survival of the species
Habitat critical to the survival of the Wollemi Pine is equivalent to the Wollemi Pine declared Area of Outstanding Biodiversity (AOBV) (NSW DEC 2006b), approximately 5,000 ha of the 500,000 ha Wollemi National Park which is registered under the BC Act. This area provides for natural range extension of the wild population and contains suitable habitat that is necessary for the ongoing survival and recovery of the species. Factors including topography and drainage as well as adjacent land use were considered in determining the extent of the area.
