Research
Researchers can apply for a permit to undertake research on a national park.
Because national parks are managed to protect their natural condition, permission to alter that natural environment in any way is not given lightly.
Proposals to undertake scientific research in parks are carefully scrutinised. If the study cannot be done outside national parks, a permit for research on national parks can be issued to suitably qualified applicants.
Applicants must be recommended by acknowledged experts.
Activities such as collecting plants or trapping animals are strictly controlled.
Contact the Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service for more information.
