Appendix VII Glossary

Heritage conservation terms are used in this report in accordance with the definitions adopted in The Burra Charter (The Australia ICOMOS Charter for Places of Cultural Significance: www.icomos.org/australia). The Burra Charter is the standard for cultural conservation acknowledged by government heritage agencies around Australia.

Definitions that are specific to this plan are provided below.

Antarctic Specially Managed Area (ASMA) is an area set aside under Annex V of the Madrid Protocol to preserve unique natural systems or to reduce the risk of interference to areas of exceptional scientific interest. An ASMA is used to help plan and coordinate activities, to minimise environmental impacts. Under article 4(2) of Annex V, an ASMA may include 'sites or monuments of recognised historic value'.

Antarctic Specially Protected Area (ASPA) is an area set aside under Annex V of the Madrid Protocol to protect 'outstanding environmental, scientific, historic, aesthetic or wilderness values, any combination of those values, or ongoing or planned scientific research.' An ASPA protects values within its boundaries by requiring permits for entry and applying a management plan to control activities in the area.

Antarctic Treaty came into force in 1961 and established an international framework for the governance of the continent, which set aside differences of opinion over the status of individual territorial claims in Antarctica. The Treaty reserved Antarctica as a demilitarised zone, setting aside the continent for peace and science. Under the Treaty, provisions have been made to conserve the natural environment of Antarctica and to protect historic sites and monuments.

Antarctic Treaty (Environment Protection) Act 1980 (ATEP) is the Australian legislation that gives effect to the Protocol on Environmental Protection to the Antarctic Treaty 1991 (Madrid Protocol).

Australian Antarctic Data Centre (AADC) was established in 1995 as a repository for scientific data resulting from the Australian Antarctic program. Data resulting from the Australian Antarctic Division's science program is the property of the Australian Government. However, in the spirit of the Antarctic Treaty's article 3.1.c, Australia makes these data publicly available two years after the date of collection. All data within the AADC is discoverable and described through a metadata system.

Australian Antarctic Division (AAD) was established in 1948 and is now a division of the Australian Government Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities (DSEWPaC). It is charged with achieving Australia's policy, operational and scientific goals relating to Antarctica and has legislative
 responsibility for the conservation and management of Mawson's Huts.

Australian Antarctic Territory (AAT) comprises all
