| Message | The reason why we dont support this is due to the principle of local specialisation, we believe that local governments have already adapted to their local environments and therefore know best how to care for and handle these parks and protected areas. We would however, support the granting of federal funds directly into a locality-based parks service. |
| Date | 10:13:26, July 13, 2008 CET | From | Rutanian Democratic Forum | To | Debating the Environmental Protection Act |
| Message | Local authorities already have much influence in this area, and national park and/or eco- protection zone cannot be established without consent or advice from local government, so there is a local specialisation. This proposal brings federal funding and also independence from some negative influence at local level. National parks should be protected at federal level. |

| Message | The IP support this bill. A reason being: supports Centralization as well as reasons given by the RRDF; protecting parks for Rutanians to use for recreation as well as improving "eco-nomy" |
