The administration is moving to rescind protections on millions of acres of old-growth forest, clearing the way for logging and road construction. Environmental groups warn the change will increase wildfire risk in pristine lands that have historically been shielded from commercial activity.
This is a resource extraction play justified as opening protected land. Old-growth forests store carbon, maintain watersheds, and provide habitat. Once logged, they don't recover to their previous state for centuries. The trade-off is short-term timber revenue against long-term ecosystem services and fire risk.
