WARO industry status thread

[gimp]

Looks like Ruahine are to be open for 12 month recovery. The closed areas are still going to remain closed but the 1st Dec - 30th April closed period will be removed with 2/3 of the park available to recovery 12 months of the year. DOC chose to not consult with park users and has rolled this out off their own bat.

Edit: pretty sure I've just ruined the thread from the get go. Sorry, thought it was pretty relevant.

It's relevant as long as people don't go off on irrelevant tangents about 1080.

The reality seems to be that the upper management levels at DoC have an entrenched mindset that any WARO is good due to it resulting in free dead deer for them, although the actual biodiversity value of the significantly reduced WARO take in recent years is extremely debatable in my opinion.
