Big Bad Wolf 16 7, 11:08pm

Inside those preserves is not the right balance.

The pre-colombian Yellowstone was a managed forest. Now to only management is errecting a fence around it so no one touches it. This results in Yellowstone burning down every 10 years with catostrophic environmental impact because we did nothing. This stupid idea that all man made change is bad is stupid and false.

What tourists don't see in American national parks is that American politicians and special interests have fenced off hundreds of miles for rich people to use as a playground under the false pretense that they are "protecting the environment". Our nature preserves are chronically underfunded. We protect national treasures by turning them into tourist traps overflowing with people. Politicians act like locals don't know how to clean their own back yard. It is stupifying that while most of the forests in America are in the east most of the "national forests" are in the west desert. That wolf problem been dealing with the exact same issue for 20 years now. We've been so successful in bringing back the wolf population that in some areas we're already shooting them again.
