Natural Values Atlas
The Natural Values Atlas (NVA) provides authoritative, comprehensive information on Tasmania's natural values - its flora and fauna.
It is a significant resource for Government and non-government organisations, scientists, consultants, students, educators, travellers and nature enthusiasts.
The NVA contains information on more than 20,000 species from Australia's island State of Tasmania. You can use it to search for information about the Tasmanian devil and view maps showing their location.
Login or Register for the NVA.
If you have any problems accessing NVA information please contact us.
