密歇根州渥太华国家森林的一个拟议的木材项目将占地127 828英亩,包括被认为不适合伐木的地区以及灰狼和北鹰等物种的偏远生境。 A proposed timber project in Michigan’s Ottawa National Forest would log 127,828 acres, including areas deemed unsuitable for logging and remote habitats for species like the gray wolf and northern goshawk. 批评者说,环境评估草案未能解决关键的生态影响问题,只提供了两种违反联邦法律的替代办法,最初包括旧林采伐。 Critics say the draft Environmental Assessment fails to address key ecological impacts, offers only two alternatives contrary to federal law, and initially included old-growth forest logging. 由于项目的规模、30年的时间表以及对流域和邻近的荒野的潜在长期损害,环境倡导者要求提交一份完整的环境影响说明。 Environmental advocates demand a full Environmental Impact Statement due to the project’s scale, 30-year timeline, and potential long-term damage to watersheds and adjacent wilderness.
