The Progressive Nationalist (PN) party is advocating for hunters and trappers to be exempt from the new farmland law, aiming to protect traditional practices and livelihoods. This move highlights concerns about preserving cultural heritage and ensuring that regulations don’t unfairly impact specific communities.
The exemption push underscores tensions between conservation goals and community rights, as authorities balance environmental protection with cultural sensitivities. Hunters and trappers argue that their activities are integral to their way of life and shouldn’t be unduly restricted by broader agricultural policies.
The outcome will likely depend on negotiations between stakeholders, including lawmakers, conservationists, and community representatives, to find a balance that respects both environmental concerns and traditional practices.
