Forest policy and the danger of deforestation
The author argues that control over forests requires centralized action to curb reckless deforestation by executives, legislatures, and courts. It cites the 1996 employers' law as an example of legislative sloppiness and warns that only a strong federal administrative approach can protect forests, soils, and rivers from irreversible damage. It warns of harm from unchecked cutting in China and discusses how deforestation alters climate, rainfall, and river systems, urging immediate national action to conserve forests for future generations.
