No vested interests within the NP Management boards
The direction and higher management of National Parks should be through a board of directors selected from wider society, they should have no vested commercial interest in the management of the National Park. This should include owners of development companies, hotels, estates.
Alternatively, the direction of the National Parks chould be run through a citizens assembly, with decisions on major planning applications and changes in land use having to go through the citizens assembly.

Why the contribution is important
There are a number of members of the CNPA board of directors who appear to have commercial vested interests in the management of the National Park. Removing commercial interests from the management board would allow the board to be more objective in decision making around the key aims of National Parks - protecting nature and fostering sustainable land use throughout the park.

A problem, of course, is getting local people interested enough to actually become involved with the running of a National Park - but that is a separate problem.
