Why do people think forestry is "unsustainable". The concept of "planting saplings after cutting so you can come back in 10 years to cut some more" is a well known well implemented thing.BridgeConsoleMasher wrote: ↑Sat Sep 12, 2020 8:20 pmI'm not sure of what business you're talking about that cleans up the forest. At least not sustainably lol. So aside from people that chop the forest down in order to prevent forest fires, what kind of profitable business comes about that results in forests proactively being proofed from fire spread?Antiboyscout wrote: ↑Sat Sep 12, 2020 7:28 pmOh, you assume it's the government's job instead of forestry companies who will do the job themselves, make profit and pay taxes on top that can be used for upkeep of National parks and forests.BridgeConsoleMasher wrote: ↑Sat Sep 12, 2020 7:23 pm That's what Trump said and experts on the ground categorically called him ignorant.
There were 11,000+ lightning strikes in one night, which is more than you'd expect in the busiest year. It's never happened before and it started a swath of horrendous fires.
As if it's a regular practice to upkeep literally all the forested area in all of the land.
clearing underbrush simply comes with the job of logging, and pre-fallen trees are just easy money, and if you can get over the eyesore, clearcut sections of forests with nothing but newly planted saplings act as very good fire-brakes
