in accordance with, a management plan in force for the ANBG, or is authorised by a permit or under certain other conditions (reg 12.06). Research that involves taking, keeping or moving native species, or is undertaken for commercial purposes, is prohibited by ss 354 and 354A of the EPBC Act except where it is undertaken in accordance with a management plan.

Aims
    * Maintain a healthy remnant ecosystem that both promotes the regeneration of native vegetation and the conservation of wildlife habitat and acts as a buffer between the living collection and the surrounding Canberra Nature Park.
    * Make the ANBG a valued habitat for native wildlife.

Issues
    * Robust monitoring and associated scientific data are needed to assess and manage impacts and risks of climate change.
    * Regular vertebrate pest monitoring is needed to inform and implement a vertebrate pest management strategy.

What we are going to do

Policies
     2.10.1       Pockets of remnant vegetation that extend into the developed parts of the ANBG will be retained with only minor modifications, such as canopy reduction and ecologically appropriate understorey plantings. Mature trees will be retained, subject to risk assessment, for their landscape and wildlife habitat values.
     2.10.2       The ANBG will be managed in a manner that provides habitat for sustainable populations of native animals.
     2.10.3       The Director of National Parks may take, or issue permits to take, actions concerning native species, including species listed under Part 13 of the EPBC Act, that are otherwise prohibited by the EPBC Act where they are necessary to implement this plan, preserve or protect the reserve, protect or conserve biodiversity, or protect people or property in the ANBG.

Actions
Remnant vegetation management
     2.10.4       Manage the ANBG's boundaries as a fire buffer zone between the higher forested slopes of Black Mountain and the developed landscape zones of the ANBG.
     2.10.5       Implement weed control programs to prevent the spread of both exotic and native species from the developed part of the ANBG into the undeveloped areas and adjacent conservation areas (including the Bushland Precinct of the ANBG) (see also Section 2.1).
     2.10.6       Collaborate on fire management issues with the ACT Emergency Services Authority and fire ecologists from the ACT Government agency responsible for the management of public reserves.
Wildlife monitoring and management
     2.10.7       Monitor populations of vertebrate pests, including rats, foxes, rabbits and cats, and implement appropriate scientifically based and humane management strategies to reduce adverse impacts.
     2.10.8       Prepare and implement a strategy for the monitoring and management of invasive and pest wildlife and implement appropriate scientifically based management strategies consistent with relevant legislation.
     2.10.9       Manage and monitor the incidence of snakes in accordance with the ANBG's Snake Management Policy to conserve the natural abundance of
