For his half, Frank Sauerbaum acknowledged that “we require a forestry coverage that the federal government takes up, we name on the federal government to go away ideological complexes behind and take into consideration the profit it brings to the folks. We’ve got 1000’s of hectares burned in Ñuble, which aren’t being recovered. And the federal government places a plan stuffed with circumstances; one is that 20% needs to be for native planting; “That exhibits a complete ignorance of the truth of the coastal dryland, for instance.”
In reference to the place of the authorities, he indicated that, “if they don’t wish to have a improvement legislation, lastly, for subsequent 12 months, allow us to put within the Finances Legislation some merchandise within the Conaf that permits the small landowner to get well the hectares that had”.
