вывод вы можете сделать, прочитав, что единственный способ избежать лесных

<DIV>В 2021 году вступило в силу правило эпохи Трампа, разрешающее вырубку
старовозрастных лесов в шести национальных лесах. В сентябре прошлого года
сенаторы Джо Манчин из Западной Вирджинии и Джон Баррассо из Вайоминга
представили двухпартийный законопроект, направленный на “снижение риска
катастрофических лесных пожаров и улучшение состояния лесов”, в основном за счет
агрессивной вырубки лесов. Подавляющее большинство старовозрастных лесов страны
уже вырублено, однако Лесная служба США продолжает реализацию планов по вырубке
десятков тысяч старовозрастных лесов.</DIV>

cutting. The vast majority of the country’s old-growth forests have already been
clear-cut, yet the U.S. Forest Service is pushing ahead with plans to clear tens
of thousands of old growth woods.</SPAN></SPAN></DIV></DIV>

watershed covers 390,000 acres in the U.S. and includes spans of old-growth

would log parts of the Yaak, including a 192-acre parcel known as Unit 72, where
some trees are 600 years old. “They say they’ll log this old-growth forest—this
wet, green rainforest—to create fire resilience,” says Rick Bass, an author and
forest activist, “but these trees are already fire-resilient. This larch, for
example, is not only meant to survive fire; it’s meant to prosper from
it.</SPAN></SPAN></DIV></DIV>
