Dealing in protected birds

What’s this about?

The draft Code of Practice introduces a new framework for regulating protected bird species. This framework operates under clause 2.9 of the Biodiversity Conservation Regulation 2017.

Key features include:

1. Risk-Based Assessment
   • The included bird species have been evaluated using a risk-based tool.
   • This tool integrates the most robust and current evidence.
   • It employs a structured decision-making approach, considering agreed parameters and risk attributes.
2. Public Participation
   • The draft Code of Practice is open for public review and feedback.
   • Stakeholders and interested parties are encouraged to submit their comments.

Your participation in the consultation process is essential to ensure the final Code of Practice is comprehensive and effective.
