Administraţia Trump vrea să deschidă spre exploatare milioane de hectare de pădure virgină

A proposed legislative amendment by the Trump administration could open nearly 18 million acres of virgin forest in the U.S. to logging and road construction. This aims to repeal the 2001 Roadless Area Conservation Act, which restricts development in untouched public forests. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins argues that the current regulations hinder forest health and fire prevention efforts. Environmental groups have criticized the proposal, warning it could disrupt vital ecosystems and increase wildfire risks. The administration's stance reflects a broader skepticism towards environmental issues, despite rising wildfire occurrences linked to climate change.
