(1) A national park (scientific) is to be managed to--

(ii) to protect the area's biological diversity to the greatest possible extent; and
(b) allow controlled scientific study and monitoring of the area's natural resources.

(2) However, if threatened wildlife is a significant natural resource for the area, management of the area may include--

(a) manipulation of the wildlife's habitat; and
(b) the control of threatening processes relating to the wildlife, including threatening processes caused by other wildlife.
