ANOTHER 170,000 hectares of Tasmanian old-growth forest will be protected after being added to the World Heritage list.
Old growth native forests in the Upper Florentine, the Styx, Huon, Picton and Counsel River Valley were on Monday given the highest level of environmental protection.
"If you look at the Styx in particular, there are trees that are the length of a football field going straight up," Environment Minister Tony Burke said in a statement.
"This decision today means those extraordinary giants of the forest are added to the World Heritage list."
The minister said for the first time the listing happened through negotiations with the forestry industry and conservation movement, rather than by politicians drawing arbitrary boundaries.
"That provides a path forward for Tasmania different to the conflict model that those opposite are completely wedded to," he told parliament.
