While some see economic benefits and improved conservation funding, groups like Forest & Bird warn it could erode public access and threaten biodiversity, especially in popular recreation zones. Public feedback ends July 2nd, as debates intensify over balancing conservation with development. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
