    • Abstract:
      This article discusses the threats facing public lands in the United States. It highlights a lawsuit filed by the state of Utah against the federal government, seeking control of national public lands in the state. The article also mentions efforts to legislate National Forest management to suit special interests, which could override years of forest planning and limit public involvement. The author criticizes certain environmental groups for supporting legislation that caters to motorized recreation, logging, and development interests, arguing that these actions undermine the conservation efforts of the past.
