No more undeveloped forests

Of course he did.

The Trump administration took a step ‌toward rescinding a decades-old rule that protects undeveloped forests on Tuesday in a move it says will help manage wildfire risk, but which environmental groups oppose, saying it would do the opposite.

President Donald Trump has ​rolled back environmental regulations and taken land out of conservation for purposes such as ​energy extraction.

The proposed rule filed by the U.S. Forest Service would rescind ⁠the 2001 Roadless Area Conservation Rule, which bans logging, roads and mining in undeveloped forests, ​and move authority to local national forest managers, according to a news release from the Agriculture ​Department.

Sure, let’s burn up and otherwise destroy everything, every single thing, because not doing that is sheer waste. Once it’s all gone, well, whoever’s left can hitchhike to Mars.
