slippery slope for sure, but there is a difference between National Park & world heritage? ie not all national parks are heritage listed?

Setting aside national parks then doing nothing else to manage them seems silly, the parks & areas do need to be managed IMO. eg: so many areas in Qld are over-run by lantana, all the feral goats in the Grampians. National parks over-run by weeds & feral animals seems like waste.
