[edit] Rainforest area
Tarkine cannot be the second largest temperate rainforest area in the world next to British Columbia. Tarkine contains rainforest 1,800 km² and eucalypt forest 400 km² (Peter Pullinger, Tarkine National Coalition, pers. comm.). There are much larger areas in Alaska Panhandle and southern Chile, as well. I wrote the rainforest area is about 2,000 km², not 1,800 km², because the australian definition of rainforest is more strict than in North America: if Tarkine was there, parts of eucalypt forests would probably be classified as rainforests.Krasanen (talk) 06:30, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
