Habitat
Habitat protection in RRDTT was one of the prime motivations for preparing
an integrated wildlife management plan for this area. During discussions of
possible means of protecting habitats, it became apparent that little of substance
was available at present. Consequently a recommendation to YTG was formulated
urging that habitat protection regulations be provided at the government's
earliest opportunity. (Recommendation
R-2)
