RST Apology to Tasmanian Aboriginal people 2021.

Renewed management system and provisions for South Africa’s sub-Antarctic islands

Papers & Reports

Summary

A novel environmental management plan (EMP) produced for the Prince Edward Islands provides a systematic and comprehensive set of provisions for the management of the islands’ biodiversity and historical estate. The plan addresses four major management goals: administration, conservation management, historical conservation and waste management. The EMP serves both an information-provision and a management-support function within a framework of continual improvement.
