Ngāi Tahu挑战新西兰对《养护法》的修改,指出这些修改通过集中控制和延长土地租赁,侵犯了条约权利。 Ngāi Tahu challenges New Zealand’s Conservation Act changes, saying they violate Treaty rights by centralizing control and extending land leases.

Ngāi Tahu向高等法院提出了对新西兰拟议的《养护法》修订案的质疑,指称这些改革违反了新西兰1998年《怀唐伊条约》的解决方式,将决策权集中起来,将土地特许权延长至60年。 Ngāi Tahu has filed a High Court challenge against New Zealand’s proposed Conservation Act changes, alleging the reforms breach their 1998 Treaty of Waitangi settlement by centralizing decision-making and extending land concessions to 60 years. iwi认为,这些变化破坏了他们在养护治理中的保障作用,有可能将公共土地私有化,无视他们的投入和传统知识,特别是考虑到新西兰三分之二的养护土地在其祖传领土内。 The iwi argues the changes undermine their guaranteed role in conservation governance, risk privatizing public land, and disregard their input and traditional knowledge, especially given that two-thirds of New Zealand’s conservation land lies within their ancestral territory. 虽然政府说改革的目的是精简程序,促进生物多样性,但Ngāi Tahu坚持认为,必须采取法律行动,以保护条约权利及其解决办法的完整性。 While the government says the reforms aim to streamline processes and boost biodiversity, Ngāi Tahu insists legal action is necessary to protect treaty rights and the integrity of their settlement.
