Future Outlook and Prospects:

Designated as a World Heritage Site since 1988 and an Australian National Heritage Site since May of 2007 with numerous legislation passed since 1990, a lot has been done to preserve and protect the Wet Tropics. As a result, the outlook of the region is very positive as about 80% of the original cover of the Wet Tropic remains since Europeans first colonized Australia.
