People and Parks Draft Visitor Strategy submission
In this submission, Conservation SA expresses a number of concerns with the draft strategy, which has targets to increase the number of visitors to our national parks and reserves, and also the range of commercial enterprises within them. The draft document does not currently acknowledge that the primary purpose of Parks is to protect our unique ecosystems and biodiversity. Additional human activity within Parks must not be at the expense of conservation outcomes, and the visitor strategy must ensure this is the case.
