Toki
Toki is a prominent conservation advocate known for her passionate defense of New Zealand’s national parks and public conservation lands. Recently, she has been vocal in criticizing the government's proposed changes to conservation laws, arguing that they represent a significant weakening of protections for native species and the natural environment. Toki contends that the proposed reforms threaten the very essence of conservation, transforming the Department of Conservation into a land-use manager rather than a protector of biodiversity. Her comments emphasize the cultural and ecological significance of these lands, which she believes should be preserved for future generations.
