| book description |

Journalist Elizabeth Nickson was forced to subdivide her small forest on Salt Spring, an island in the Pacific North West. To do so, she needed the Islands Trust to grant her the right to build one more house on her twenty-eight acres. Her long and expensive struggle with the extreme greens who dominate rural life almost everywhere led her to investigate the broader impact of the environmental movement on ordinary men and women in North America and around the world. Nickson explores how the environmental movement has changed the way we interact with nature and documents how it is hurting communities everywhere. Nickson details the ways in which today's environmental movement has strayed from scientific integrity on issues ranging from land-management to biodiversity to fish and water protection, and how environmental radicals have taken over government agencies on local, state, and federal levels. She traces the tens of billions of dollars environmental nonprofits spend annually to promote the notion that our essential natural systems are collapsing and finds, in a fiendish example of self-fulfilling prophesy, that their perverted science is desertifying the heartland. She visits once-thriving communities turning to ghost towns because environmental legislation has forced mines, ranches, and mills to close and forbade critical forest, range, park, and wilderness maintenance. Eco-Fascists exposes the major fallacies of the environmental movement - from wildlife protection to zoning to forest fire management - and introduces us to the individuals who are fighting back. Fast-paced, highly accessible, and sure to be controversial, Eco-Fascists will change the national conversation about environmental protection and its impact.
