I just don't trust the assumption that the world's leading forestry science experts and a perfectly run government could manage a forest.
There are unknown unknowns. It's an ecosystem that's way more complicated than we realized 40 years ago, so thinking "yeah we just do these 5 things and problem solved" is hubris that could end up be called mismanagement in 40 years, because it created an even bigger problem when we failed to consider an unknown.
If people need to evacuate the area for a few decades, so be it. It sucks, but not as badly as another 100 years of dealing with problems.
