Conservation Rules Block Firefighting

State conservation policies, internal 'protect resources' maps, and incentives to avoid disturbing endangered flora can legally and operationally constrain frontline firefighters and post‑suppression monitoring. Those constraints can allow smoldering 'holdover' roots to persist and later rekindle into catastrophic urban wildfires, transferring catastrophe risk onto adjacent communities. — This reframes conservation as an operational governance trade‑off that requires transparent emergency exceptions, auditing of 'no‑suppression' maps, and liability/accountability rules to prevent preventable loss of life and property.
