Along with this opportunity come important new wildlife management roles for district councils which were previously carried out by the Department of National Parks and Wildlife Management (DNPWLM). One of these roles is to recommend to DNPWLM the setting of quotas for the number of animals which can be killed in each district every year.

This manual is designed to inform people involved in wildlife management within rural districts about the importance of quota setting and provide some biological background to quotas.
