Activities like logging, mining, or certain types of development are restricted or banned. The proclamation provides the legal certainty needed to enforce these protections—specifying exact hectare sizes and lot numbers so there's no confusion about what land is covered."},"summary":{"complexity_score":2,"scope_assessment":{"changed":false,"description":"Insufficient substantive content is present in the provided document to determine whether the scope changed from the original intent of the proclamation.
