Description
The aim of this management program is to maintain viable wild populations of all cycad taxa and cycad habitats across their range in the Northern Territory. The invasion of exotic pasture grasses into cycad habitat is increasing fuel load, giving rise to substantial increases in fire intensity. Concern for the conservation of Northern Territory cycads, in combination with the requirement for a management program to allow export of wild harvested cycad products other than seed, has led to this program. - Executive summary,
Notes
A management program prepared under the Territory Parks and Wildlife Conservation Act. Numerous cycad enthusiasts, harvesters, land managers and other conservationists have contributed to the wealth of information and ideas that underpin this management program; their contribution is appreciated. Harvey Ottley compiled much of the background information for a previous version of this management program.,
