The U.S. Forest Service is spraying glyphosate (Roundup) across tens of thousands of acres of national forests this spring to support commercial timber production.
Following wildfires, forests naturally regenerate with diverse shrubs, wildflowers, and wildlife. However, a recent investigation reveals that the Forest Service and private logging companies are routinely applying the herbicide to eliminate competing native vegetation, favoring commercially valuable species such as Douglas fir and sugar pine.
This practice has created large areas with significantly reduced biodiversity, often described as "dead zones", where insect, bird, and plant populations have sharply declined. Glyphosate, classified by the World Health Organization as a probable human carcinogen, has seen its use in California national forests quintuple over the past two decades, reaching a record 266,000 pounds in 2023.
Local communities, environmental groups, and residents are raising concerns about potential impacts on water quality, endangered species (including salmon and rare foxes), and public health. Critics argue that prioritizing industrial timber production over ecological diversity conflicts with the broader mission of national forests as public lands.
The issue has intensified debates over forest management, balancing economic interests with long-term environmental and community health.

Microsoft is working on a Windows 11 age-verification feature that could tell apps a user’s age range without sharing their birthday.
Windows would handle verification and tell an app whether the user is a child, teenager, or adult, instead of each app collecting a date of birth.
Microsoft says the actual birthday will not be shared and will keep more personal information private.
The feature could help block mature content, limit certain features, or apply age restrictions in apps and games.

YouTube Premium is facing a second proposed class-action lawsuit over its “ad-free” claims.
Three Canadian subscribers argue that Premium isn’t truly “ad-free” because creators can still include sponsored content and brand promotions directly in their videos.
“Although the source and delivery mechanism of the advertisements changed, the commercial interruption experienced by subscribers remained substantially the same.”
Islamic State supporters are sharing an online guide encouraging extremists to deliberately start wildfires to exhaust firefighters, police and investigators in the UK.
The supporter-run forum contains ISIS propaganda in Arabic and English and material discussing how attackers could avoid detection.
The guide, titled “Burn down your first forest and exhaust the workers of the tyrant,” presents arson as a way to force evacuations, drain emergency resources and cause major economic damage. Users also discussed attacking homes and a court.
The material emerged as Britain battles severe wildfire conditions that recently prompted an emergency alert to millions of people.
