Part 1/10:
California's Forests, Fires, and the Quest for Abundance
California's vast landscape, encompassing 30 million acres of forest, is now a battleground of ecological policies and environmental disasters. The state's management of its forests and fire policies has sparked fierce discussions about sustainability, abundance, and responsibility. A significant portion of California's forests are federally protected, with approximately 60% of them designated as National Forests. This area has been largely off-limits to logging for years, a decision that many argue contributes to the escalating intensity and frequency of forest fires across the state.
