La Californie et ses forêts anciennes

The future of California’s wild forests is now a little more secure, thanks to steps Gov. Schwarzenegger has taken to protect our national forests.

On July 12, Gov. Schwarzenegger petitioned the federal government to protect all 4.4 mil-lion acres of California’s wild forests, saying, “Today, we are taking action to keep our pris-tine forests roadless and in their natural state. It is critical that we safeguard these areas.”

The governor’s decision is a major step for-ward in a nine-year campaign by Environment California staff to make sure that our nation-al forests are around for future generations.
