Dan Coup, CEO of the QEII National Trust, highlights a significant concern that could halt the creation of new conservation covenants, affecting the Trust's ability to expand its preservation efforts.
He delves into the details of what exactly qualifies as a covenant, how many there are in New Zealand and roughly how much land they cover across the country.
Coup also honours the legacy of James Guild, a renowned farmer and conservationist, whose leadership and dedication to sustainable practices continue through his family.
Coup remembers Guild as "a great agricultural leader" whose impact on conservation and agriculture remains influential.
