The subsequent work was publicly released in the 2017 Special Species Timber Management Plan. Given that significant areas of special timber forests were included in the 2013 Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area extension, the Tarkine area remains a vital resource for the culturally significant special timbers sector.

Nothofagus gunnii is easily visually separated from the other Tasmanian species from the same genus, Nothofagus cunninghamii, by the crinkled appearance of the leaf lamina. Tanglefoot forests cannot survive fire, and must re-establish from neighbouring areas. They are very sensitive to changed conditions due to their slow growth.
The sustainable use of natural resources may be permitted, such as mining, special species timber harvesting or hunting. [ 1 ] [ 28 ] There are 438 conservation areas covering a terrestrial area of about 622,000 ha (1,540,000 acres).
