Scorching a pinecone is easily repeatable in a lab, and then you can care for the saplings for two or five years until you can plant it in nature. End of the problem. Most will survive exactly when we want them to be. Keep the rest of your millions and use it for something more useful than rebuild entire cities each four years. There is not need to burn the forest for that or to convert arsonists or criminals into heroes claiming that 'nobody thinks in the saplings!'. Now all that we need is to stop making excuses to start hunting seriously the criminals and put them in jail. Period.
