Summary of bioregional characteristics, values, conservation opportunities and priorities . Central Arnhem bioregion is almost entirely Aboriginal freehold land.
Few people live in the bioregion and it is remote from main roads and other infrastructure.
There are no major industries in the bioregion, although low intensity cattle production is extensive, and there are limited tourism ventures. The area is dominated by eucalypt forests, including the main extent of two fine-scale types of eucalypt forest. There are no vertebrates and few plant species which are known to occur mainly in this bioregion, however this may reflect lack of information. This area is one of the least known bioregions in the NT, having had no extensive wildlife survey. Information on threatening processes is also limited, however feral animals, inappropriate fire regimes and weeds are probably having extensive impacts.
