As President Trump enters his second term, he continues to exercise his emergency powers frequently, affecting various national policies, particularly concerning environmental regulations. His recent declaration targets national forests, aiming to increase timber production by 25% across over 112 million acres of National Forestry Service land. This decision follows a warning of a 'national forest crisis' due to environmental stressors. Critics express concern that removing NEPA procedures will undermine protections for federal land, prioritizing corporate interests and timber production over ecological sustainability.
Trump's administration has consistently leveraged emergency powers to bypass regulatory procedures, a tactic seen with decisions impacting national forests and environmental protections.
The recent declaration to rollback protections on national forests raises significant concerns about prioritizing timber production over environmental sustainability.
