This proposal will result in harmful effects to the areas within the subject boundaries. By removing local Conservation Authorities, the Ford government is sidelining workers who have context specific knowledge of the particular areas and ecosystems being managed. This guarantees that land management and ecosystem interventions will be done without taking specific requirements of a given area into account, thereby causing detrimental effects, destruction of unique ecologies, and poor outcomes for lands under the "management" of this larger body. The current Conservation Authorities represent local knowledge and awareness of what works and what doesn't. Amalgamating them into a "one size fits all" body guarantees waste, destruction of sensitive areas, and inappropriate use of scarce resources.
