Thread: National Parks plan review amid growing tourism, endangered species

Not too sure if this is the best place to put this or not on the forum

" . . .According to experts, ideas to be considered in regards to park management include capping visitors, introducing fees, restricting development and stopping the loss of "quiet places". It's about nature coming first, they say. . . "

Will be curious to see which nature they choose to put first with the native/non native debates out there.

Not open to public consultation apparently which is a shame given they are attempting to maintain the balance of what is 'sacrosanct' about national parks, which for many of us will be the pursuit of big game.

Hope hunting interests are represented in any changes proposed though this might be wishful thinking.
