Meanwhile this is all being sidelined by our elected representatives both at a national level as well as locally. The fact that exotic trees are being
\n cut down because they were introduced by early European settlers appears to be part of the \u2018cancel-culture\u2019 that can even be conceived as a cultural
\n marxist agenda. That is, to take down the past and eradicate it. The fact that deep ecology is being ignored and that the flora and fauna are under
\n attack, defies common sense - especially when there is an actual program in Auckland to plant 1 million additional trees goes against common wisdom.<\/p>\n

\n Our Minister for the Environment considers that it is \u201ctoo expensive\u201d to bring back tree protections. He can only say this if he values our trees
