(NB: The terms "old growth" and "virgin" may have various definitions and meanings throughout the world. See old-growth forest for more information.)
In 2008, only a relatively small area (15%) of Australia's forests (mostly tall, wet forests) had been assessed for old-growth values.[3]
Of the {{Convert|23|e6ha|abbr=off}} of forest in Australia assessed for their old-growth status, {{Convert|5|e6ha|abbr=off}} (22%) is classified as old-growth.[4] Almost half of Australia's identified old-growth forest is in NSW, mostly on public land.[3] More than 73% of Australia's identified old-growth forests are in formal or informal nature conservation reserves.[4]
In 2001, Western Australia became the first state in Australia to cease logging in old-growth forests.[5]
The term "old-growth forests" is rarely used in New Zealand, instead, "The Bush" is used to refer to native forests. There are large contiguous areas of forest cover that are protected areas.
