Hon EUGENIE SAGE (Minister of Conservation): It is public knowledge that the Department of Conservation's (DOC's) operational plan to control Himalayan tahr is subject to court action in the High Court, with Forest & Bird seeking a declaration, on the one hand, and the Tahr Foundation seeking an urgent injunction against the draft plan being implemented, on the other. I understand the matter has been set down for a hearing next week. As the matter is before the courts, it would be inappropriate for me to comment.
