An ecotopia in the Rocky Mountains?

There is an extreme environmentalist project for a sort of ecotopia in the Rockies. It seems to be a take off from the green and separatist book "the Nine Nations of North America" in which the United States, Mexico and Canada are cut up into nine (or more) nations. In this Rocky Mountains ecotopia, there would be a 20 million acre, about 30,000 square miles that would be designated pure wilderness. That means no logging, no ski resorts, no roads, just the most primitive activities. The bill is sponsored by Carol Maloney of New York City and Raúl Grijalva of Arizona. This area is in Idaho and Montana, with parts of eastern Washington, eastern Oregon and western Wyoming to be strictly for the animals, with a few hardy hunters on foot thrown in. No wonder that no one from these states listed above in Congress is sponsoring this environmentalist porno vision.
