In
a new report released today, the Environmental Defence
Society (EDS) has called for a reset of government forestry
policy to support indigenous forest regeneration on Banks
Peninsula and dis-incentivise exotic forestry
expansion.
The report is the final in a series of case
studies EDS has undertaken as part of a broader
investigation into landscape protection in Aotearoa New
Zealand. EDS has already released case study reports on Te
Manahuna Mackenzie Basin, Waitākere Ranges, Hauraki Gulf
Islands and Tourism.
