Information

  • Each rectangle represents only the forest area of an Australian state, and is therefore a portion of the total state area.

    The ratio of forest area to total state area is indicated in the state's tooltip (mouse over a state, and see the Forest cover field).

  • Each state (rectangle) is divided into cells (small squares) forming a grid. Each cell represents an area unit corresponding to 178.49 km² of forest in real life.

    Important : the positions of cells on the rectangles do not represent the real positions on the actual state
