Centralizing these…

Centralizing these responsibilities into a large regional authority will erode the local expertise, responsiveness, and decision-making that our municipalities and residents rely on within their communities. This also means less collective funding to steward and restore the environment.

This also removes any recognition and ability for First Nations to steward areas they have cared for. There it significant indigenous erasure.

A grouping of power to make a new system that will have difficulties integrating, communicating and ability to decide and act on conservation issues of an even greater area with little help and more to juggle. Of course construction in those areas will explode as developers have plans in place to be enacted while the initial transfer of power and system comes into play.

Work like this only harms the environment and anybody that calls those places home. That affects MILLIONS, human or not.
