A light in the forests

[montana500]

nice article in the NYT up on www.wilderness-sportsman.com :


"The Bush administration has largely succeeded in its systematic effort to roll back environmental protections for America's national forests. It has weakened agreements to protect old-growth trees in the Pacific Northwest, persuaded Congress to adopt an industry-friendly plan for fire suppression and overhauled rules governing forest management in ways that erode safeguards not only for the forests but also for the endangered species that live there."



It was nice to see Oregon, California and New Mexico take legal action on this matter. The original rule is the one that the people wanted.
