3 Biodiversity considerations
Littoral Rainforest is known to provide significant habitat for a number of endemic and threatened flora and fauna species, as detailed in the Listing Advice and Policy Statement 3.9. Persistence of this ecological community is critical to the survival of a number of these national and state listed species.
Other ecosystems and habitats adjoining the ecological community will also benefit directly and indirectly from actions to improve landscape health within patches of Littoral Rainforest. For example, some patches of Littoral Rainforest are known to overlap with, or closely adjoin, a number of other ecological communities including the Semi-Evergreen Vine Thickets of the Brigalow Belt (North and South) and Nandewar Bioregions ecological community (Endangered) and the Lowland Rainforest of Subtropical Australia ecological community (Critically Endangered).
