Oh, I wish people would read emails before
responding with criticism : )
Laurie, I did not say fuel reduction burning would
stop. Neither did I say it should stop - quite the opposite in fact. But
nonetheless, the matter cannot lawfully continue without a Federal
assessment.
Clearly you would agree that if our attitude is
that it won't make a difference, then nothing would ever get done would
it?
Oh, and Mike Norris. Clearly my email in no way
denegrates the value of the Atlas. Quite the opposite in fact. Again, it is wise
to read and understand emails before getting off the point, which is...
Do we or do we not all agree that the main point is
that fuel reduction at present levels is NOT a good thing for wildlife, that it
IS unlawful, it SHOULD be stopped (at least temporarily) and it SHOULD continue,
but ONLY AFTER an appropriate management plan that guarantees community interest
and biodiversity is secured. If so, can we hear this, and avoid detracting from
those issues. This is really important.
I am going to say no more on the matter.
Cheers,
Simon.
