==Background==
The Gondwana Rainforests are so-named because the [[fossil]] record indicates that when [[Gondwana]] existed it was covered by rainforests containing the same kinds of species that are living today. Not all Gondwanan rainforests in Australia are located in the [[New South Wales]]{{spaced endash}}[[Queensland]] region; the largest Gondwanan rainforest in Australia is located in [[Tasmania|Tasmania's]] [[Tarkine wilderness]]. The number of visitors to the Gondwana rainforest reserves in New South Wales and Queensland is about 2 million per year.<ref name="ausgovdep" />
 
The World Heritage status of the region was created and negotiated initially in 1986, with the area extended in 1994, andfollowing a nomination which was prepared in 1992 by the Rainforest Conservation Society.<ref>{{Citation|author1=Keto, Aila | author-link1=Aila Keto | author2=Scott, Keith | title=The central eastern rainforests of Australia : World Heritage nomination | publication-date=1992 | publisher=Rainforest Conservation Society | url=https://trove.nla.gov.au/work/24045583 | access-date=14 October 2021 | archive-date=27 October 2021 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211027183844/https://trove.nla.gov.au/work/24045583 | url-status=live }}</ref> The World Heritage listing carries the following inscription:<ref name="ausgovdep" />

The forests were inscribed to the World Heritage list in 1986, covering only the New South Wales sites of approximately {{convert|310800|ha}} and extended in 1994 to cover the Queensland sites of approximately {{convert|59200|ha}} which is a total of approximately {{convert|370000|ha}}. The rainforest reserves have an extremely high conservation value, with more than 200 rare or threatened plant and animal species.<ref name="explore" />

== Destruction ==
The region was historically [[Logging|logged]] extremely heavily, to such an extent that only 1% of the original range of the Gondwana rainforest remains in Australia. Most of the logged regions have been taken over by [[eucalyptus]] forest. <ref name=":0">{{Cite web|url=https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-01-18/gondwana-era-nightcap-oak-devastated-by-bushfire/11877770|title=Gondwana-era nightcap oak devastated by unprecedented bushfire|last=Shoebridge|first=Joanne|last2=Marciniak|first2=Catherine|date=2020-01-18|website=[[ABC News (Australia)]]|access-date=2020-01-18|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200118025250/https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-01-18/gondwana-era-nightcap-oak-devastated-by-bushfire/11877770|archive-date=18 January 2020|url-status=live}}</ref>
 
During the [[2019–20 Australian bushfire season|2019-2020 Australian bushfire season]], many regions of the Gondwana rainforest were devastated by [[Bushfires in Australia|bushfires]] for the first time, with some preliminary reports indicating that up to 53% of the forests may have burned as of January 2020. Among the devastated habitats are several locations that are significant for some critically imperiled species, such as the [[Eidothea hardeniana|nightcap oak]] and the [[giant barred frog]]. The presence of these devastating blazes in areas that have never burned before has been linked to the encroachment of the flammable eucalyptus trees into the logged areas adjoining the forests.<ref name=":0" /><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/jan/17/its-heart-wrenching-80-of-blue-mountains-and-50-of-gondwana-rainforests-burn-in-bushfires|title='It's heart-wrenching': 80% of Blue Mountains and 50% of Gondwana rainforests burn in bushfires|last=Cox|first=Lisa|date=2020-01-16|work=[[The Guardian]]|access-date=2020-01-18|last2=Evershed|first2=Nick|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200118234106/https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/jan/17/its-heart-wrenching-80-of-blue-mountains-and-50-of-gondwana-rainforests-burn-in-bushfires|archive-date=18 January 2020|url-status=live}}</ref> The general claim of "never burned before" has been challenged by several commentators, based on an article in ''[[The Cairns Post]]'' on 25 October 1951 that reported a "fire has burnt out about 2000 acres of thick rainforest country" in the Lamington National Park.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/42728679|title=Bushfires Over Large Part of State|newspaper=[[The Cairns Post]]|date=25 October 1951|page=1|via=[[Trove]]}}</ref>
