The Healthy Forest Initiative

The Healthy Forest Initiative was a law that was proposed in 2002 by George W. Bush to reduce the amount of forest fires that were occurring around the world. These fires occur in different ways, such as lightning, volcanic eruptions but mostly humans. The law apparently has been working for the past 10 years. The amount of forest fires has reduced since the year of 2003 but the amount of fires still needs to decrease. They are thinning down the forests because they feel they are over crowded with trees and bushes. That has also reduced the amount of fires that happen every year. Hopefully they continue to improve what they're doing already and save more trees and forests.
