Responsible Forest Management Helps Prevents Catastrophic Wildfires.

National forests are in an unhealthy and dangerous state resulting in larger and more intense wildfires. In 2012, wildfires burned 9.3 million acres, while the U.S. Forest Service only harvested approximately 200,000 acres.

This means that 44 times as many acres burned as were responsibly harvested and restored. According to the U.S. Forest Service, 65-82 million acres of Forest Service Lands are at “high risk of wildfires.”

"Forests and sustainable forest management provides us with an unprecedented opportunity to transition towards a green economy. Certified timber and energy, community-based partnerships and ecological solutions, all present opportunities to harness the benefits of functioning and well-managed forests," said Achim Steiner, Executive Director of the United Nations Environment Program.
