Tēnā koe Mr Farnath,

I refer to your Official Information Act request of 11 October 2018
(copied below) in which you requested:

·         All correspondence between yourself [the Minister] and DOC in
regards to the proposed cull of our valuable resource of Himalayan Tahr
and the impact on tourism, guiding and both recreational and commercial
hunting all without the required consultation with recreational hunters
and hunting associations as per the 1993 HTCP act.

·         Full details on how the population numbers were obtained and how
much variation there is possible in the numbers stated.

We have transferred your request to the Department of Conservation as the
information to which your request relates is believed to be more closely
connected with the portfolio responsibilities of that department. In these
circumstances, we are required by section 14 of the Official Information
Act to transfer your request.

You will hear further from the Department concerning your request. If
needed you can contact them at: [1][email address].

Nāku iti noa, nā

Dear Department of Conservation,

 

I am making this OIA information request to obtain all correspondence
between DOC and the Minister of conservation Eugenie Sage MP in regards to
the proposed cull of our valuable resource of Himalayan Tahr and the
impact on tourism, guiding and both recreational and commercial hunting
all without the required consultation with recreational hunters and
hunting associations as per the 1993 HTCP act. Also the full details on
how population numbers were obtained, what the percentage of variation is
possible on those numbers and the tourism, recreational and commercial
hunting potential revenue loss the country will suffer with the very real
possibility of the loss of Tahr as a huntable resource.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Benjiman Farnath
