(ii) conserve the biological diversity of the wildlife to the greatest possible extent; and

(iii) identify, and reduce or remove, the effects of threatening processes relating to the wildlife; and

(iv) identify the wildlife’s critical habitat and conserve it to the greatest possible extent; and

(b) ensure that any use of the wildlife—

(ii) for educational, recreational, commercial and authorised purposes; or

(iii) by Aboriginal peoples under Aboriginal tradition or Torres Strait Islander peoples under Ailan Kastom;

is ecologically sustainable.
