COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. • As the West battles one catastrophic wildfire after another, the federal government is spending less and less on its main program for preventing blazes in the first place. A combination of government austerity and the ballooning cost of battling the ruinous fires has taken a bite out of federal efforts to remove the dead trees and flammable underbrush that clog Western forests. The U.S. Forest Service says that next year it expects to treat 1 million fewer acres than it... ... |

Lake Bonneville may have disappeared thousands of years ago, but the cutthroat trout that roamed the massive and ancient lake can still be found in various Utah waters, albeit in much lower numbers.

“Millions of Americans are being denied the health protection that doctors say is needed, and that the law requires EPA to provide,” said Paul Cort, an attorney with Earthjustice, the public interest group handling ... |
