What the Bureau of Land Management doesn't get about wilderness
Published on Wednesday, Dec 03, 2008
The trouble is, the bureau has taken things too far, failing to consult effectively with the National Park Service and putting at risk park and other wilderness area in eastern Utah. When the bureau finally did include the park service, it largely ignored concerns about potential harm to ''air quality, water resources and natural sound.''
The bureau opted to defer leasing on 93 parcels, including areas close to such treasured lands as Canyonlands and Arches national parks. It will march ahead on 210 parcels, covering 313,000 acres. Note that deferring action hardly means the door has been permanently closed, especially in view of the precedent set for managing such precious lands.
The hope was, the Bush team would appreciate, in a Teddy Roosevelt way, the balance that must be struck. Practically everyone understands the energy objective. What environmental groups rightly stress is the finality of disrupting park lands. Wilderness cannot be retrieved. Decisions about the country's natural legacy must be made carefully.
