JUSTIFICATIONS OF: . THE RESTRICTIONS IN THE PROPOSED NATIONAL WILD ANIMAL RECOVERY OPERATIONS (WARO) CONCESSION PERMIT OFFER, AND . CLOSURES OF THE LAND THAT HAS BEEN EXCLUDED FROM THE NATIONAL WARO CONCESSION PERMIT OFFER This explanatory document is a summary of the justifications of the restrictions (Schedule 5: Restricted Zones (land zoned as orange) with Special Conditions over the land) and closures (Land zoned as Red and not permitted), as provided by the Director Conservation Services of each Services Region, in the draft permit. These justifications have been arrived at having regard to the provisions of the Wild Animal Control Act 1977. In particular Part 2 and Section 23 which encompasses Section 17U of the Conservation Act 1997, paragraph (a) the provisions of the Act under which the land is held and its purposes, (b) the purpose of the Wild Animal Control Act ,(c) the role of persons engaged in recreational hunting The inclusion of this land in this national permit offer does not preclude the land being open to WARO into the future either on a one-off basis for conservation management reasons, or in future offers. Isolated blocks of under 50 hectares have been zoned red and their justifications are not provided here. Marginal Strips are generally red unless otherwise identified in the mapping. For Reserves, nature reserves default is public access by permit only. MOC may also impose entry by permit only for scientific reserves and government purpose reserves.
