In general, scientists are truthful in what they say — but not in what they investigate. Despite scouring one of the world's top libraries (the University of California, Berkeley), I couldn't discover a single book or essay on trail-negative building's effects. When I see a picture of a path, I always say to myself, "Oh, a trail - so what?" It takes a lot of willpower to consider the wildlife habitat that was lost to make way for the trail. The habitat damage isn't limited to the trailbed, either. A grizzly can hear a human from a mile away and smell one from five miles away, according to Ed Grumbine's book Ghost Bears. And grizzlies are most likely not alone in this regard. Animals within five miles of a trail, in other words, are unable to fully utilise their habitat. That's habitat destruction in action! We would be faced with our own destructiveness every time we entered a park if there were no trails. We can only pretend that we are not harming the environment since it has already been destroyed for us. There is just one solution that is compatible with wildlife conservation: reducing the number, size, and use of trails.
