Understanding Public Lands Management and Other Hallucinations of Nature
Human activities are having a cumulative detrimental effect on our ecosystems, threatening both terrestrial and aquatic environments.
A warming planet and extended regional drought are driving up air and water temperatures, with clearcutting and long-term deforestation acting as accelerants that must be stopped.
Warming waters are causing algal blooms that deplete aquatic ecosystems of oxygen, leading to the decline of aquatic insect populations and breaking the food chain, putting trout survival at risk.
The Air Force didn’t illicitly use this land for a bombing range, this is the handiwork of the taxpayer-funded Ely BLM treatment-industrial complex, aided and abetted by TNC’s contracted vegetation models and analysis.
