The government's planning and infrastructure bill has faced criticism from nature groups, labeling it a sellout, but the current conservation framework has failed to prevent nature loss. Proponents argue that outdated site-by-site protections hinder effective conservation and increase costs for housing and infrastructure. The government proposes a nature restoration fund to support strategic restoration efforts informed by ecological science. By adopting modern conservation strategies that emphasize interconnectivity and scale, it aims to address habitat decline and promote environmental resilience while facilitating necessary housing and infrastructure development.
The government has proposed a solution: a nature restoration fund to support strategic initiatives across the country to effectively restore habitats and tackle conservation issues.
Current conservation efforts, relying on site-by-site protections, are outdated and fail to address the need for connectivity and scale that modern ecological science recognizes.
