Following the devastating wildfires of 2017, PS Socialists pledged to limit the planting of fire-spreading eucalyptus. But media reports have revealed there are licences still in place allowing for the planting of “even more” of these trees until the end of 2019.
This is because the licences were obtained under a law that only ‘fell’ on December 31, 2017 and gave pulp producers two years of planting authorisation.
