[2] Predominately the majority of the Mount Windsor Tableland is closed off for any form of public use and access to the area is often only given on request.

[2] The Tablelands have a combined total area of 489.3 km2 (188.9 sq mi) and consist of diverse range of wetland, rainforest, and mountain ecosystems.

[2] Being the sixth highest locality in Queensland,[5] the Tableland region sits, on average, 1,186 m (3,891 ft) above sea level.

Due to its height, its various peaks are often not visible, covered by clouds or dense fog that are often emblematic of the humid, Wet Tropics region.

[2] The landscape, as mentioned before, ranges from drylands forest areas to rainforest, but also exhibits many running streams, waterfalls and other bodies of water that contain an abundance of aquatic life.

[2] Prior to the Wet Tropics of Queensland becoming a World Heritage Site in 1988, the Windsor Tablelands and surrounding rainforest areas were being paved for roads, new tourism locations and utilised for its timber and other natural resources.

[8] While the Daintree blockade had critical impact for universal recognition of the Wet Tropics of Queensland as a UNESCO World Heritage Site,[9] the Mt.

Prior to be conserved as a World Heritage Site through the Wet Tropics of Queensland, the Mount Windsor Tableland region was extensively logged for its timber.

Streams and bodies of water were often filled with the displacement of dirt, foliage and debris from these tracks via both the construction of them and the movement of operating vehicles on the land.

[10] Additionally, other than the more direct impacts on the rainforest landscape in terms of cutting down vast areas of forest for timber, logging has had casual effects on animal species and their dwindling numbers in the region.

[15] These animals are being closely monitored by Queensland Government's Department of Environment and Science and initiatives such as increasing protected areas, installing nature refuges and other plans that are in place to help restore species numbers back to safe levels.

[14] Federal Legislation from the EPBC Act 1999, denotes that for an animal to be considered critically endangered it must be at an extremely high risk of becoming extinct within the near future.

A fungus named Chytridiomycosis is a highly deadly disease that has led to the declining numbers of the little waterfall frog.

Three birds have gained international protection status as migrating species that inhabit the Mount Windsor Tableland region.

[23] In past decades, mining sites and activity have been the main threat to the survival of this species in North and Western Queensland.
