flag New Zealand council considers converting flood protection land to reduce emissions, boost wildlife.

flag The Greater Wellington Regional Council in New Zealand is exploring reducing grazing on 576 hectares of flood protection land in Wairarapa to adopt more emissions-friendly activities. flag The proposed changes include converting land into floodplain meadows, wetlands, and native bush, which could generate $85,000 annually through hay sales and support wildlife. flag The shift aims to decrease carbon emissions, currently costing $264,000 annually from grazing, and aligns with the government's plans to price on-farm emissions by 2030.
