美国林业局的减少危险燃料工作在2025财政年度下降了近40%,而此前四年的平均水平为4年。 立法者在给Tom Schultz酋长的信中说。 Hazardous fuels reduction work by the U.S. Forest Service dropped nearly 40% in fiscal year 2025 compared to the previous four-year average, lawmakers said in a letter to Chief Tom Schultz. 他们将下降归因于人员短缺,指出特朗普政府期间丧失了近5 000个森林服务职位,推迟了机械减瘦和处方烧伤等核定项目的执行。 They attributed the decline to staffing shortages, citing a loss of nearly 5,000 Forest Service positions during the Trump administration, which has delayed implementation of approved projects like mechanical thinning and prescribed burns. 尽管环境审查已经完成,但许多项目仍未完成,造成工作积压。 Despite completing environmental reviews, many projects remain uncarried out, creating a backlog. 立法者强调需要及时采取行动,在气候条件不断恶化的情况下减少野火风险。 Lawmakers stressed the need for timely action to reduce wildfire risks amid worsening climate conditions.
