The document contains two tables comparing vegetation types and species numbers from before and after European settlement in the Warrnambool and Otway Plains regions of Australia. Table 1 shows that grassy woodland, scrubs and grasslands, and lowland forests on both plains have less than 10% of their original areas remaining. Table 2 lists the current number of species in various groups such as birds, mammals, and plants found in the two regions.
