Process for Developing or Revising Park Management Plans
The Protected Areas Act requires that a national park be managed exclusively for the purpose for which it was declared. However, SANParks recognises that the environment is in constant flux, is interlinked with the socio-economic and political spheres and could be affected by societal values. Protected area management should therefore take cognisance of the ever changing environment and diversity of influences, and plan accordingly. In consultation with stakeholders SANParks will be revising the management plan of each park approximately every ten years.
Management plans that will be reviewed during the period 2014/2015 are:
Addo Elephant National Park (AENP)
Table Mountain National Park (TMNP)
Notice is given to all interested and affected parties that in terms of section 39, read with section 41 of the National Environmental Management: Protected Areas Act No. 57 of 2003 (NEM:PAA) that SANParks is revising the park management plans for Addo Elephant National Park (AENP) and Table Mountain National Park (TMNP). The TMNP management plan is also being revised in terms of section 21 of the World Heritage Convention Act No. 49 of 1999 as the Park forms part of the Cape Floral Region World Heritage Site.
The purpose of the park management plan is to guide the future management of the respective National Parks for the period 2015 - 2025. The NEM:PAA requires that interested or affected persons be given the opportunity to comment on the plan.
Please note, you are required to register in order to participate in this process by accessing the SANParks website at http://www.sanparks.org/conservation/pa ... g_form.php.
You can also register by telephone or post (see contact details below) and at the public information sessions. The stakeholder participation process will run from 16 February to 28 March 2015 for TMNP and from 23 February 2015 to 03 April 2015 for AENP.
Electronic versions of the management plans will be available on the draft plans page on the following dates:
TMNP - 16 February 2015
AENP - 23 February 2015

Re: Public Participation: SANParks Management Plans
Why can Kruger's management plan not be revisited?

Re: Public Participation: SANParks Management Plans
That is a good old document from 2008, H.
But a lot has changed since then, in my opinion, now SANParks has to gather votes for the government, so the ideals have shifted.
