Rare wildlife are an important part of Queensland’s biodiversity and an integral component of the national and global ecosystem representing— (a) biota of inherent value and potential importance for the maintenance of ecosystem processes; and (b) a source of genetic information integral to an understanding of the evolution of the Australian biota; and (c) a genetic resource of potential benefit to society. ˙ ‘ Proposed management intent ‘ 12. The proposed management intent for rare wildlife is as follows— (a) to treat newly described plant species and vertebrate animals, or plant species or vertebrate animals reclassified as an identifiably different species, as rare wildlife until formal appraisal of its conservation status is complete; π (b) to collate information about management requirements for the wildlife and its habitat; (c) to regularly monitor and review the wildlife’s conservation status and its habitat; (d) to establish formal communication with the Commonwealth and other State agencies about the management and conservation status of the wildlife; (e) to encourage scientific research and inventory programs likely to contribute to the understanding of the wildlife, its habitat and management requirements; (f) if a significant threatening process is affecting the wildlife—to treat the wildlife as endangered or vulnerable wildlife until it is included in schedule 2 or 3; (g) to recognise the habitat of the wildlife as a potentially critical

The following are the principles for the taking and use of rare wildlife under a licence, permit or other authority under the Act—— (a) taking and use of the wildlife for exhibition purposes may be permitted only if— (i) it is for an approved captive breeding program; and (ii) the taking and use is likely to result in a benefit to the wildlife in the wild; (b) taking and use of the wildlife for another purpose may be permitted only if— (i) it is consistent with the management principles for the wildlife; 3 and (ii) it will not affect the survival of populations of the wildlife in the wild.’. ˙ Amendment of sch 5 (Common wildlife) 35.(1) Schedule 5, section 4(2), ‘( Phascolarctus cinereus )’— omit, insert— ‘( Phascolarctos cinereus )’.
