DOC is working with the hunting sector and the Tahr Plan Implementation Liaison Group to over time reduce the size of the tahr population back within the limits of the Himalayan Thar Control Plan 1993.
To meet the goals of the Tahr Control Operational Plan (2018/19), over the months of July and August nanny and juvenile tahr will be culled across all seven management units. Control will be undertaken from Aerially Assisted Trophy Hunting (AATH) concessionaires’ environmental contributions, tahr control contracts issued by the department, potentially Wild Animal Recovery Operators and DOC.
