What has been done to increase the rate of approval of licences for plantation and forestry? That seems to be a huge issue. The felling seems to be smoothing itself out a small bit. There is an increased rate of applications or approvals but that is not happening with plantations. It completely flies in the face of everything we are trying to do through agriculture and climate action.
