Director-General of National Parks and Wildlife Service and others País/Territorio Australia Tipo de la corte Otros Fecha Sep 29, 1994 Fuente UNEP, InforMEA Nombre del tribunal Land and Environment Court of New South Wales Juez Talbot Número de referencia 81 LGERA 397 Idioma Inglés Materia Especies silvestres y ecosistemas Palabra clave EIA Principio de cautela Especies animales protegidas Resumen The Applicant appealed against the decision of the Director General of the National Wildlife Service under Section 92C of the National Park and Wildlife Act 1974, to grant a licence under Section 120 of that Act to the Forestry Commission of New South Wales to take or kill any protected fauna in the course of carrying out forestry operations within the Wingham Management Area. The Court held that the Fauna Impact Statement on the whole contained information to the extent required by Section 92D of the National Park and Wildlife Act 1974. While expressing concern for the workability of the precautionary principle, it was, the court said, “a practical approach which the court finds axiomatic in dealing with environmental assessment.” Texto completo Jud.Dec.Nat.pre.pdf Disponible en UNEP/UNDP/Dutch Government Joint Project on Environmental Law in Africa, Compendium of Judicial Decisions on Matters related to Environment, National Decisions, Volume I, Page 349 Referencias Cites Leatch v.
