Abstract

The present Regulations provide for the enforcement of sections 25 and 29 of the Wilderness and Ecological Reserves Act. The text contains at the outset a definition clause relating to various terms therein employed, such as “managing agency”, “management plan”, “permit”, “reserve”, “structure”, “wildlife”. The most important provisions of these regulations are contained in Section 3 establishing that a person shall not destroy, damage or remove any fossil material. Thereafter the said section lists all the cases, which are prohibited to do in a reserve. Section 7 rules that scientific research within a reserve shall require a permit and those permits may be obtained from the managing agency on submission of a written request outlining the research project, and subject to the terms and conditions that the managing agency may determine. The text consists of 16 sections and 1 Schedule.
