Improving Positive Human Impacts on the Sierra

The Sierra Club is at the forefront of improving and/or maintaining the human impacts on the Sierra. For the past decade, the Bush Administration has practiced increasingly unsustainable and destructive logging. The Sierra club has been challenging these unsustainable logging and destructive forest management practices in the Sierra Nevada's eleven national forests. In order for there to be improvement on the human impacts in the Sierra, the Sierra Club needs to maintain what they are doing, but also there needs to be an increase in groups who's aim is to protect this ecosystem. This will help the large scale halt of negative human impacts on the Sierra. But just as important as the large scale, is the small, or local scale. There needs to be an increase in awareness of what is going on negatively in this ecosystem and what the government is allowing to negatively impact the Sierra. This will help local communities realize what is happening in the Sierra and be able to make informed decisions and vote for measures that protect our natural ecosystems. I believe more than any other way of preventing destructive practices in the Sierra, voting for laws and restrictions is the best way to stop negative human impacts the quickest.(http://www.sierraclub.org/environmentallaw/lawsuits/0127.aspx)
