Three advocacy groups have filed a lawsuit against the US Forest Service for approving widespread logging and burning in Nevada's Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest, alleging violations of the National Environmental Policy Act and other laws.
The lawsuit challenges a decades-long project that would impact the forest's ecosystem, with the groups citing a lack of proper environmental assessment and consideration of alternative methods, as reported by CounterPunch.
The conservation groups have also filed a 60-day Notice of Intent to Sue against the Forest Service and US Fish and Wildlife, further escalating their efforts to halt the controversial project and protect the national forest's natural resources.
