Episode Details

The U.S. Forest Service just unleashed an emergency plan to log millions of acres in Montana and Idaho after devastating wind storms, citing urgent threats from bugs and disease. The move could open up over five million acres for commercial logging, bypassing normal environmental reviews and public comment periods — just seven days — sparking outrage from environmental groups who warn it’s a rushed, legally questionable effort to salvage timber before its value drops. Officials say emergency conditions justify skipping standard procedures, but critics fear this sets a dangerous precedent, risking wildlife and public lands while accelerating large-scale logging operations.
