中新社悉尼10月23日电 (记者 薄雯雯)澳大利亚新南威尔士州政府23日宣布,设立大考拉国家公园(Great Koala National Park)的法案已获州议会通过,公园预计年底前开放。
根据法案,共计17.8万公顷的林地及土地将纳入国家公园体系,与现有保护区共同组成总面积超过47.5万公顷的大考拉国家公园。新增保护区域栖息着约1.2万只考拉及其他100多种受威胁物种。
据新州政府介绍,公园位于新州中北海岸,将继续开放露营、划独木舟和山地自行车骑行等活动,有望带动当地旅游业及相关企业发展。
澳大利亚广播公司报道称,该公园将成为新州第二大国家公园,标志着持续十余年的保护倡议取得重要进展。新州环境部长彭妮·夏普表示,保护这些森林,既能守护考拉及众多受威胁物种的家园,也能让后人欣赏这里的自然风光。
不过,大考拉国家公园的设立也引发当地伐木业对就业的担忧。新州政府去年已暂停拟建公园区域内的采伐活动。报道援引行业代表的话称,这一措施已对木材加工、运输等行业造成影响。新州农业及区域事务部长塔拉·莫里亚蒂表示,政府将提供经济援助和再培训,并为符合条件的伐木业从业者提供转岗途径。
