The first serious damage cited by the critics is the loss of vegetation. There was significant loss of trees and other vegetation in the park as some one-third of Yellowstone national park was engulfed by the fire. It would have been understandably shocking for people to witness the charred remains of trees and ashes left on the landscape. The professor, however, points out that vegetation did, indeed, return to the area, and more significantly, new forms of botanical…
