"Ethically speaking, how should federal and state governments manage western public lands on behalf of American citizens? And who specifically ought to decide on what the ideal use of those lands may be? Activists and lobbyists tend to focus on the first question, but the second is just as important for successful management of these lands. One’s ideal moral theory about how humans ought to interact with the land will matter little if that theory lacks a well-organized group to champion, implement, and defend it" [Author]
