I think it is important that we don't get confused about what we are trying to achieve.
I am not fighting conservation or conservationists. I want our forests and waterways protected and our land protected from exploitation.
What I also want is recognition of our game species as a valuable resource to be managed responsibly and be part of that conservation process irrespective of what government or party is in power. The Tahr management plan has been in place since 1992? and no government since then has actively managed or monitored it or, as far as I can see, made any attempt to change the status of our game herds.
