April 2018: EDO NSW has made a submission on the Draft Flying-fox Code of Practice Authorising Camp Management Actions 2018.
EDO NSW retains significant concerns with the scale of environmental harm that is being authorised through Codes of Practice under the Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016. The Code maintains the trend of reducing regulatory oversight and independent expert consideration of harm to threatened species by removing the need to obtain a licence to harm flying-foxes prior to undertaking authorised camp management activities.
