16/08/02 Darling Riverine Plains Bioregion Background Report 8.3 OFF-RESERVE CONSERVATION 8.3.1 Voluntary Conservation Agreements Voluntary conservation agreements (VCAs) are permanent arrangements between landholders and the Minister for the Environment of New South Wales regarding the use and management of the specified land. The National Parks and Wildlife Service administers these agreements. Conditions regarding agricultural use of the land vary. One VCA currently exists within the DRP and covers approximately 19 hectares. 8.3.2 Wildlife Refuges Wildlife Refuges are a voluntary agreement between a landholder and the NPWS. Wildlife Refuges provide legal protection for the native plants and animals on the property. Wildlife Refuges can be entered into for the following purposes: conserving, preserving, propagating, and studying native plant and animals; conserving and studying natural environments; or creating simulated natural environments. Forty-eight Wildlife Refuges have been gazetted in the DRP, covering approximately 550 000 ha (Table 8.4). Table 8.4 Wildlife Refuges within the DRP NPWS Area Approximate total area Number of Wildlife (ha) Refuges Broken Hill 232 000 11 Cobar 169 000 7 Coonabarabran 64 000 10 Narrabri 87300 20 Forest Management Zones Forest Management Zones (FMZs) are a classification system used by State Forest of NSW to classify areas of their estate in terms of intended management. This classification system is based on the “Nationally Agreed Criteria for the Establishment of a Comprehensive, Adequate and Representative Reserve System for Forests in Australia” (JANIS 1997). FMZs 1-4 afford varying degrees of protection for natural and cultural values. FMZs 1-4, their management guidelines and relation to JANIS criteria are outlined in Table 8.5 below. FMZ classification is not yet finalised for the DRP. 141
