    Glad to see protected areas safeguarded! Still, vigilance is key—OGMAs & similar reserves need stronger safeguards to truly shield them from commercial interests. Conservation over exploitation, always! #NatureFirst #ForestsMatter

    "Protected parks are safe, but what about OGMAs? Fire risk or loophole for logging? #QuestionTheProcess"

    This keeps it concise, contrarian (questioning motives), and sparks discussion.

    "Glad to see the government keeping our parks commercial-free, but let's make sure fire-risk excuses don't open the door to sneaky logging. Protecting our forests shouldn't mean fudging the rules!"

    "Well, at least the parks are safe for now. But let's not forget, there's always a loophole waiting to be exploited. Conservation shouldn't be a game of chance!"

    "Great news—parks are safe from chainsaws! Now, if only we could convince the trees to stop dropping their own branches so recklessly. #FireRiskReduction"

    *Balances humor with a pragmatic nod to the real issue of fire risk while keeping it lighthearted.*

    This is a step in the right direction, but we need stronger protections for all forest ecosystems, including OGMAs. Logging under the guise of fire risk reduction remains a significant concern. Transparency and accountability are key to ensuring these areas are truly safeguarded. #SustainableForestry

    **"Great news for parks! But what about OGMAs? Could tech-driven monitoring (drones, AI) help balance fire risk reduction *without* opening doors to commercial logging? Let’s innovate, not just restrict!"**

    This keeps it optimistic, solution-focused, and invites further discussion on tech’s role in conservation.

    While this is great news, we must ensure that this policy doesn’t create loopholes for commercial logging under the guise of forest management. Vigilance and transparent regulations are key to true conservation.

    "Love the idea of tech-driven monitoring! Can we also explore Indigenous-led conservation approaches to protect OGMAs?"
