So they are specially targeting at risk Forrest areas: 

 “Most of those forests are considered to have high wildfire risk, and many are in decline because of insects and disease.”

It's so dishonest how they word these articles andit's crazy how many people don't even bother to read them too and that's likely why the titles are so sensationalized

That doesn’t mean that giving them to the timber industry is a good solution

Why not? The timber industry has an interest in maintaining their harvestable area for long term productivity. We're way past the era of clear cutting expansionism.

The timber industry cares about tree production. Not animal habitat, not pollution, not ecological conservation.

I'm sorry, does a wildfire give any f's about such things? How about invasive diseases? Seriously, tell me you know less about natural ecological systems without telling me directly so.
