Summary
The plant communities of the Kimberley, including Australia's tropical rainforests, are the most biodiverse ecosystems of Australia and, in many ways, the least understood. Since European settlement Australia has lost 27% of its rainforest. Today, there remains around 1,500 patches of monsoon rainforest, totalling 7,000 hectares, scattered across 170,000 square kilometres of the tropical Kimberley region of Western Australia. These rainforests are small, isolated and embedded within a mosaic of mostly flammable eucalypt savanna woodlands. Mounting evidence of the Kimberley as a historical and significant centre of refugia warrants action from scientists, governments, conservation agencies, Indigenous landholders as well as local communities to protect and conserve its unique biota and the processes responsible for generating and sustaining it.
