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).

Wilderness. Issue 46.1: Adequacy of the analysis of the effects of noise from operations at the Xxxxxxx Hole Airport on the wilderness experience. Comment: Part of the idea of national parks is to preserve "wilderness." Quiet is part of wilderness, and air traffic everywhere is an increasing source of noise pollution (0508.001).

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. Although the refuge conservation plan identifies a large portion of the refuge (including the upper Karluk and Xxxxxxxx) as proposed wilderness, no action has been taken to date by Congress. Consequently the issue of wilderness is not discussed in this compatibility determination. The revision to the current conservation plan is in progress and one of the issues to be addressed will be how the Agreement will affect public use on adjacent refuge lands. As indicated in this compatibility determination, there are several scenarios that could allow a higher level of use in the Karluk drainage to be compatible with refuge purposes. 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. As a stipulation of the Agreement, the Service is charged with conducting a study starting in January 2002 to determine the level and location of public use that will be permitted on the Conservation property and adjacent refuge lands within the Karluk and Xxxxxxxx drainages. In the interim, specific limits on the amount of public use are outlined in the Agreement. A permit . system to manage public use is required by the Agreement. The FWS will also include stipulations for use involving client bear viewing and sportfishing activity in and around Karluk Lake in refuge special use permits. These stipulations will be focused on conserving brown bear feeding habitat in salmon streams and the lake shore areas. Pollution: Concern was expressed regarding for water quality in the watershed given the proposed increase in human activity. Particular concern was e...

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. It has been explained that some parcels under the latter designation, not owned by MB, could be operated as family woodlots, in which case the permitting of a ‘family dwelling’ was deemed appropriate. Otherwise, obviously, MB had no reason to need residences in its tree farm. Most ‘parcels’ were unsubdivided District Lots. Zoning Bylaw 5 (1978), Section 13:
Wilderness. Management of lands with wilderness characteristics and the use of those lands remains extremely controversial in Utah. Areas have been designated as Wilderness Study Areas (WSAs), and are being managed to preserve their wilderness character, according to the Interim Management Policy and Guidelines for Lands Under Wilderness Review (IMP). Other issues to consider include the following: • The proposed plan revision will address inconsistencies with management prescriptions resulting for OHV designations, oil and gas leasing categories, etc.. and interim management of WSAs. • Additional areas have been inventoried and found to possess wilderness character by BLM (as per the 1999 Utah Wilderness Inventory and the Monticello Wilderness Inventory Area Revision Document). These areas are termed “wilderness inventory areas”. This planning effort will consider whether or not these areas with wilderness character should be managed as WSAs and subject to IMP. • New information regarding wilderness characteristics will be considered.
Wilderness. Both the State and Commonwealth Governments have requirements to assess wilderness. Wilderness assessments in the region under the NSW Wilderness Act are now complete with 16 study areas totalling 316,400 hectares found to meet the wilderness criteria. These areas are termed provisionally identified wilderness and are in addition to the 481,650 hectares of declared wilderness in the region. Provisionally identified wilderness areas were considered in developing the options. NSW Government decisions on wilderness declaration will follow public exhibition of the assessment results including wilderness declaration options. Provisionally identified wilderness will also be considered in finalising the RFA. Wilderness has also been measured according to the ‘XXXXX’ criteria based on the National Wilderness Inventory (NWI). The criterion is to reserve 90 per cent or more of the region’s high quality wilderness, defined as NWI wilderness with a minimum rating of 12 and minimum area requirements. There are 860,500 hectares of this wilderness in the RFA region, of which 358,750 hectares is in the South-Coast sub-region and 501,750 is in the Tumut sub-region. Eighty-seven per cent of wilderness occurs in existing reserves across the RFA region, including 77 per cent in the South Coast sub-region and 94 per cent in the Tumut sub-region. Indigenous interests Forested landscapes contain much evidence of Aboriginal use of and spiritual link to the land, which can be protected through: • the protection of Aboriginal sites and artefacts; and • the maintenance of natural forest values.
