Title
"Allan Fitzsimmons" radio episode
Description
An audio recording by Oregon Congressman Les AuCoin condemning Allan Fitzsimmons' (the Wildlands Fuel Coordinator at the United States Department of the Interior) approach to environment management. According to AuCoin, the Bush administration had used then recent wildfires as an excuse to weaken environmental protection laws and to promote logging of new and old growth trees, catering to commerical loggers instead of "genuine forest health." AuCoin asserts that Fitzsimmons' complacency to ecosystem management was rooted in theology, not ecology. AuCoin states that "science contends that we are of nature, not apart from it." This is one episode from AuCoin's biweekly radio show on Jefferson Public Radio (JPR), which ran after he had retired from office. The majority of episodes feature his commentary on current political events, often focusing on issues important to southern Oregon where JPR is based. This episode aired on September 2002.
