It's not that the science is lacking or unknown, the problem is the political will to make the sacrifices needed for recovery. The biggest limiting factors are OFF THE TABLE. We're left with tinkering around the edges.


Keta is spot on, the problem with recovery is a political will issue, not a scientific short fall.
FYI numbers 1-3 are are a direct result of poor logging and land use practices.
