Wilderness. Issue 46.1: Adequacy of the analysis of the effects of noise from operations at the Xxxxxxx Hole Airport on the wilderness experience.
Wilderness. Using the Australian Heritage Commission wilderness methodology this project will update the National Wilderness Inventory (NWI) analysis in the region to allow the delineation of places with high wilderness quality utilising improved disturbance information from old growth forest survey and cultural heritage assessments. Additional information such as better definition of current roading will be incorporated into the analysis. Outputs will be a map of all areas with wilderness quality and size above agreed thresholds; a map of areas of wilderness quality within the region identifying rational boundaries for protection of wilderness values; and rational boundaries options for wilderness areas.
Wilderness. Forest Area—This area shall include all land under present Tree Farm Certificate and License and any land so designated in the future. All activities permitted under the License shall continue. Owners of such land shall be encouraged to permit access to hikers and horseback riders, but the use of vehicles in such areas, except those of the owners or their agents or fire-protection vehicles, shall be prohibited. Only one family dwelling per parcel of land shall be permitted.
Wilderness. This assessment will include wilderness areas identified under the provisions of the XXX Xxxxxxxxxx Xxx 0000 in addition to the National Wilderness Inventory (NWI) analysis of wilderness in the region. The NWI analysis will be refined by the application of disturbance information from old growth forest surveys, improved information on the nature of road access and additional information of relevance. Outputs will be: a map of all wilderness areas identified under the provisions of the Wilderness Xxx 0000 and of NWI wilderness quality and size above agreed thresholds; a map identifying rational boundaries for protection of wilderness values; and a map of rational boundary options for wilderness areas.
Wilderness. Concerns revolved around an increase in human activity on adjacent refuge lands within the Upper Karluk drainage which has been proposed for wilderness classification. In addition, the decision on the Agreement was characterized as premature and those commenting felt it should be deferred until the revised refuge comprehensive conservation plan (conservation plan) is completed. Other comments indicated support for the Agreement, but suggested that any development be conducted in a manner consistent with the wilderness character of the refuge. Impacts to brown bear: Concerns revolved around the increase in human activity suggesting that this may have a negative effect on brown bear feeding on salmon streams, including concern for possible effects on survival of brown bears in the area. Another comment recommended that FWS should stand back and not interfere with nature. Other comments indicated that Agreement would focus protection on refuge lands due to stipulations in the Agreement. Pollution: Concern was expressed regarding for water quality in the watershed given the proposed increase in human activity. Particular concern was expressed for the potential increase in discharge of human waste and related to boating activity. Subsistence: One comment indicated that subsistence use should be confined to Koniag lands and not allowed on refuge lands. The opportunity for continued subsistence by local residents on refuge lands is one of the purposes of Kodiak Refuge articulated by the ANILCA.
Wilderness of Wilderness, as defined in the XXXXX Reserve Criteria (ie National Wilderness Inventory (Xxxxxxx and Xxxxxx 1995) minimum rating 12 in patches greater than 8000ha), in the Upper North East region is protected within Dedicated Reserves under this Agreement. Of the Wilderness outside Dedicated Reserves, two thirds (66%) is on freehold or leasehold land. Informal Reserves provide a level of additional protection for Wilderness. 12 Forestry Operations are prohibited from rare non-commercial Forest Ecosystems by the The Integrated Forestry Operations Approval for applicable to the Upper North East Region region provides additional protection for Rare non-commercial Forest Types as in Research Note No. 17 Forest Types in New South Wales (Forestry Commission of New South Wales, Sydney 1989). These Forest Types Ecosystems (as described in Attachment 1(A), Table 1) include: 33 Mangrove 42 Blackbutt – Sydney peppermint - Smooth-barked apple 64 Grey gum - Stringybark 66 Grey Ironbark-Stringybark 82 Grey box 94 Forest type 94 (not named) 107 Banksia 115 Sydney peppermint – Stringybark 136 Snow gum - Black sallee 162 White Ash 164 Eurabbie 000 Xxxxx xxx 213 Bull oak 214 Wattle 000 Xxxxxx 30 Swamp mahogany 31 Paperbark 32 Swamp Oak 52 Round-leaved gum 63 Woollybutt 98 Dorrigo white gum 105 Smoothbarked-apple 119 Scribbly gum – Bloodwood 129 Rough-barked apple 130 Red bloodwood 131 Peppermint - Mountain / Manna gum 12A Forestry Operations are prohibited from threatened ecological communities (TECs) by the Integrated Forestry Operations Approval applicable to the Upper North East region. 13 The Integrated Forest Operations Approval for the Upper North East Region provides additional protection for rainforest as defined in the IFOA including any area of land within 20m of the boundaries of warm temperate rainforest. Forestry Operations are prohibited from all rainforest, including a 20m buffer around any areas identified as RN 17 forest types 10 to 15, by the Integrated Forestry Operations Approval applicable to the Upper North East Region. 13B Forestry Operations are prohibited from all Old Growth forest in the Upper North East region by the Integrated Forestry Operations Approval. 14 Management plans identified in Section 2.3 of the New South Wales Upper North East Region Forest Agreement for Dedicated Reserve and Informal Reserve elements of the CAR Reserve System will clearly identify the CAR Values and the actions being taken in each reserve to appropriately manage ...
Wilderness. In the Southern RFA, 93.2 per cent of wilderness as defined in the XXXXX Reserve Criteria, is protected within dedicated reserves. More than half the remaining wilderness outside dedicated reserves is on freehold or leasehold land.
Wilderness. Almost all (99%) of Wilderness, as defined in the XXXXX Reserve Criteria (ie National Wilderness Inventory (Xxxxxxx and Maslen 1995) minimum rating 12 in patches greater than 8 000ha), in the Eden region is protected within Dedicated Reserves under this Agreement. Management of CAR Values Management plans identified in Section 2.3 of the New South Wales Eden Region Forest Agreement for Dedicated Reserve and Informal Reserve elements of the CAR Reserve System will clearly identify the CAR Values and the actions being taken in each reserve to appropriately manage and conserve those values. ATTACHMENT 2 (clauses 34, 46(g), 62, 95.8) THREATENED FLORA, FAUNA AND COMMUNITIES Both Parties recognise the range of mechanisms to conserve the habitat of endangered and vulnerable flora and fauna in the Eden region. These include: (i) protection within the CAR Reserve System; (ii) protection of key habitat components using the Integrated Forestry Operations Approval; (iii) protection of key habitats such as rainforest, heaths, swamps and other wet communities, rocky outcrops and rare ecological communities; and (iv) the development of Recovery Plans for species, populations and communities listed under the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995 (NSW) and the Endangered Species Protection Act 1992 (C’wth). Key species are protected by a combination of reservation and prescription. Current priorities for developing Recovery Plans for threatened forest dependent fauna and flora for the next five years are provided in Table 1. Parties note that the list at Table 1. is indicative only and timeframes are dependent upon funding. These priorities may change and new priorities may arise in response to additional information, funding etc. Where Recovery Plans under the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995 (NSW) meet the requirements of the Endangered Species Protection Act 1992 (C’wth), the Commonwealth will consider adopting them under Section 46 of the Endangered Species Protection Act 1992 (C’wth). Threatening Processes Threat Abatement Plans under the Endangered Species Protection Act 1992 (C’wth) for Predation by the Feral Cat and Predation by the European Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes) have been finalised and approved by the Minister. Other priorities for Threat Abatement Plans under the Act include Competition and Land Degradation by the European Rabbit, Competition and Land Degradation by the Feral Goat, and Dieback caused by the root-rot fungus (Phytopthera cinnamoni).
