Regional Forest Agreements and Comprehensive Regional Assessment boundaries

Regional Forest Agreements (RFAs) are long-term Commonwealth–state agreements for the conservation and sustainable management of specific regions of Australia’s native and plantation forests.\r\n\r\nThis dataset defines the areas that were supplied by states for the Regional Forest Agreements process and includes RFA regions in New South Wales, Tasmania, Victoria and Western Australia, and for Queensland a Comprehensive Regional Assessment region.\r\n\r\nThis dataset is designed to support and enable Commonwealth reporting specified in the _National Forest Policy Statement_, the _Regional Forest Agreements Act 2002_, and to fulfil requirements under the _Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999_.

区域森林协议（Regional Forest Agreements，RFAs）是澳大利亚联邦与州政府达成的长期协议，用于对澳大利亚原生林与人工林的特定区域开展保护与可持续经营工作。

本数据集明确了各州为推进区域森林协议流程所提交的区域范围，涵盖新南威尔士州、塔斯马尼亚州、维多利亚州与西澳大利亚州的区域森林协议辖区，以及昆士兰州的综合区域评估（Comprehensive Regional Assessment）区域。

本数据集旨在支撑并落实《国家森林政策声明》《2002年区域森林协议法案》中规定的联邦报告工作，同时满足《1999年环境保护与生物多样性保育法案》项下的相关要求。
