Mediation allows for a neutral third party to facilitate communication and negotiation between the disputing parties. It is a more collaborative and less adversarial approach than litigation or arbitration, which could help maintain a better relationship with the land owners and environmental groups. Private trial and litigation involve going to court, which can be costly, time-consuming, and could further damage the relationship with the involved parties. Arbitration may also be adversarial and may not allow for open communication between the parties like mediation does.
