The Fauna Protection Panel was constituted under the Fauna Protection Act, 1948 (Act No.47, 1948) which received assent on 24 December 1948. The Act commenced from 1 July 1949. Prior to this matters relating to birds and animals protection were handled by the Colonial Secretary's Department. The purpose of the Act was to provide for the protection and preservation of fauna, while permitting the destruction and control of those species which were harmful to primary producers. The Act applied to all fauna whether native or introduced. The Fauna Protection Panel constituted by the Act consisted of the Chief Guardian who was the Chairman and thirteen appointed members. © State of New South Wales through Museums of History NSW
