Gymnosperms of Australia At the continental scale, endemism in
gymnosperms is the rule rather than the exception. Not surprisingly,
this concept applies especially to the island continent of Australia.
The only species on this list that are not endemic to Australia are
Araucaria cunninghamii, with var. papuana native to New
Guinea; and Sundacarpus amara, found in Australia, India,
Malaysia, New Britain, and the Philippines.
Some of Australia's finest forests are
threatened by severely no sustainable logging practices. For example,
threats to the Tasmanian forests are described on the website of
The Wilderness Society.
