I object this proposal. The amount of protected land has been diminishing throughout the past couple of years

These lands were listed as protected in order to create a guideline for building new homes, businesses, roads while still keeping our natural surroundings. You realized how important it was back then to protect farmland, natural habitats and wildlife, or else you wouldn't have spent that effort, time and money to make sure these rules were in place. If we take away these rulings that were meant to protect, we will have no farmland, habitats and wildlife left in a number of years. With out these, we cannot survive. If you pay attention, you'll see this is already starting to happen.

If your idea is that we still have farmland and protected wildlife areas elsewhere, so we will be ok, you are wrong. Every government agency will attempt to push it onto some other department and make it their problem to deal with in the future. Make the right decision now to keep these lands protected, and stop pushing aside the issue at hand. Don't pretend that you don't see diminishing protected lands around you, stop avoiding the issue. Local farmland is incredibly important on so many scales of environmental stability but also economy.

If you are more focused on yourself, let me put it in a way that will affect you directly. If you make this decision now to stop protecting these lands, you'll have limited farmland and natural habitats. This correlates to meaning that you'll have higher food prices from importing food, you'll have low diversity of wild species which means an unstable environment increasing the the unstable weather patterns and increased erosion, increased water pollution. You'll be spending so much time trying to fix these issues; paying into research on how to increase bird/fish/scavenger populations, implementation of these proposed practices, and when you don't get it right the first time that cycle of payment will just keep going. When you realize that communities cannot afford food and the ridiculous amount of import taxes that will come with it you'll start to pay money into feeding communities, creating avenues for food stamps again. You'll spend so much money on researching and implementing how to clean water, reduce erosion, make land habitable again, make land capable of producing good quality food. Things you are already putting money into now now, because you made this mistake already years ago of not protecting enough land to begin with. Save all that time and money, and don't destroy our communities, farmland and environment.

If we don't have any natural land left, we cannot survive. Industry can't survive without sunlight, food and water- so support the basics necessities and stop trying to grow in the wrong sector.
