For further information associated with the remnant regional ecosystem dataset used by this report, such as the year at which
the extent of remnant is reflective of, refer to the metadata associated with the relevant Remnant Regional Ecosystems of
Queensland dataset (version listed in Appendix 1) and which is available through the Queensland Government Information
System portal,

The Queensland Globe is a mapping and data application implemented inside the Google Earth TM application. As an
interactive online tool, Queensland Globe allows you to view and explore Queensland maps, imagery (including up-to-date
satellite images) and other spatial data, including regional ecosystem mapping. To further view and explore regional
ecosystems over an area of interest, access the Biota Globe (a component of the Queensland Globe). The Queensland
Globe can be accessed via the following link:
