This is the map at The New York Times today (click here), generously explaining how intricately public lands, including National Parks could be scrupulously managed to allow the exploitation, OH EXCUSE, me 'survival' of the timber industry in Montana.
If you read through the document at the link to this entry, it is grossly easy to discover the vast incompetency and mismangement by Fish and Wildlife under The Bush White House. One simply has to connect the dots to realize the people at Fish and Wildlife don't have adequate resumes.
Also noted in this document would be RECENT research pointing to the incredible ability of The Northern Spotted Owl to use forest lands currently lost through wildfires. As a matter of fact further research is needed to know exactly the link between this raptor and the regrowth of forest after wildfires. It is not difficult to understand why the Bush White House threw little effort to stop the wildfires of these lands. Kill the birds, their nesting areas and then take the land for crony industries such as timber.
This is the article from the New York Times to sell the public on destroying it's National Forests (click here). Incredible, isn't it? The focus at the other papers were just as heinous and I'll have to dig them out of a file in a minute. I mean, after all, The New York Times shouldn't stand alone in it's exploitation of the American Public and it's land use.
