Ancient wood is very valuable and unfortunately people will stop at nothing to get it. In 2019 the fuel pipeline supplying our largest airport was cut by a Digger being allegedly used to dig up ancient wood (Swamp Kauri). https://www.nzherald.co.nz/northern-advocate/news/marsden-pt-pipeline-rupture-caused-by-digger-looking-for-swamp-kauri/WARZGMUUV5EJ7AXSK24YQB4X5A/ https://www.nzherald.co.nz/northern-advocate/news/marsden-pt... Hopefully these ancient forests do not end up being mined.
