Cycad Management Program
The Northern Territory Government encourages Territorians to have their say on the draft Management Program for Cycads.
Cycads are long-lived, slow-growing, woody plants with eight of the 10 Cycas species endemic to the Northern Territory.
The draft Program provides guidelines for managing cycads in the Northern Territory and has been prepared in accordance with the Territory Parks and Wildlife Conservation Act.
The main strategies of the Program include:
- land management
- commercial and non-commercial harvest
- public awareness and education
- description and status of Northern Territory cycads
Your input will help guide the future use and sustainability of cycad populations in the wild.
Submissions closed on Friday 3 August 2007.
This program is now closed for comment. Submissions are currently being considered and the program will be updated in the light of these comments. The updated program will then go through a formal process of endorsement by the Parks and Wildlife Advisory Council, Parks and Wildlife Commission, Minister for Parks and Wildlife, and Executive Council prior to approval by the Northern Territory Administrator. The updated program will also be sent to the Australian Government for adoption as a Wildlife Trade Management Plan under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservaton Act.
