WESTERN AUSTRALIA (VK6)
Western Australia, abbreviated as WA, is a State occupying the entire western third of Australia. It is bounded by the Indian Ocean to the north and west, the Great Australian Bight and Southern Ocean to the south, the Northern Territory to the north-east and South Australia to the south-east.  Western Australia is Australia's largest state with a total land area of 2,529,875 square km (976,790 sq miles).  The state has approximately 2.5 million inhabitants.  The capital city is Perth.

Western Australia’s conservation lands and waters (including national parks, marine parks, nature reserves and State forests) extend over more than 28 million hectares (an area roughly equal to Victoria and Tasmania combined) and encompass stunning coastlines, expansive coral reefs, sweeping ranges, magnificent gorges and stately forests.

DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND WILDLIFE.
Picture
The Department of Parks and Wildlife (DPaW) protects and conserves Western Australia’s natural environment on behalf of the people of Western Australia.  The department was established on 1 July 2013, when the former Department of Environment and Conservation (DEC) was split into the Department of Parks and Wildlife and the Department of Environment Regulation.

The Department provides support to the Conservation and Parks Commission (formerly the Conservation Commission and the Marine Parks Reserve Authority) to carry out its functions.

The DPaW logo design is a stylised representation of a bottlebrush, or Callistemon, a group of native plants including some found only in Western Australia. The orange colour also references the Western Australian Christmas tree, or Nuytsia. ​
More information on DPaW can be found on their website at.....

WHICH PARKS DO NOT QUALIFY FOR VKFF IN VK6?
Conservation Covenants.
There are currently 164 Conservation Covenants in Western Australia.

A conservation covenant is a permanent legal agreement placed on a landholder’s Certificate of Title to ensure long-term conservation and protection of native remnant vegetation and habitats.  The covenant runs with the land in perpetuity.

More information can be found on the WA National Trust website.
Indigenous Protected Areas.
There are currently 15 Indigenous Protected Areas.

A permit is required to enter these areas, and to date these areas have not been added to the VKFF program, with the exclusion of Yawuru Birrigun Conservation Park VKFF-1457.  Access to some areas is restricted.
Nature Reserves.
There are currently 547 named Nature Reserves which are not in the VKFF program.  There are also 402 un-named Nature Reserves.

Currently 275 Nature Reserves qualify for VKFF.

The remaining Nature Reserves are slowly being added to the WWFF Directory.
Marine Parks.
There are 22 VK6 parks that appear in the CAPAD 2022 Marine Protected Area data.

These will be added to the WWFF Directory in early 2024. 
Western Australian Forests.
As these are not allocated an IUCN category, they do not qualify for the VKFF program.  This may change.

The McGowan Labor Government has made the historic decision to protect the State’s native forests by 2024.  ​The decision to end logging of native forests in the upcoming Forest Management Plan (FMP) 2024-33 will preserve at least an additional 400,000 hectares of karri, jarrah and wandoo forests, meaning nearly 2 million hectares of native forests inside the FMP area will now be protected for future generations.
