In 2023, Cyclone Gabrielle wreaked havoc in New Zealand's Tairāwhiti region, resulting in extensive damage and raising questions about forestry management.

New findings suggest that forestry slash continues to pose significant risks, indicating that little progress has been made in addressing these concerns since the cyclone.

The study emphasizes the need for a thorough reevaluation of forestry practices to mitigate future risks and protect the environment.
