Too many environmentally minded people are under the impression that environmental preservation means holding an ecological system in stasis to prevent change. I think this is a decent article showing a few of the reasons that those ideas need a little rethinking on what it means to help the environment.

Parties opposed to that course of action are the homeowners in the forests and portions of the timber industry who would prefer to log the unnaturally dense forests (caused by fire suppression).

- XorNot 11y agoIt's worth considering that this angle is frequently and aggressively pushed by parties which want to discredit all environmentalists for various reasons.
