Technically that may be true, in reality this is what happens.

That's not a government decision or policy gone awry, it's an error made by a

That horrendous situation says nothing to whether the government is the best
organ to protect the environment or to make decisions regarding it.

Based on the track records, Governments are a poor choice to make such
decisions. I think the Navaho would say the Government should go to
Hell based on recent events on their reservation. A mining company
would never have made such a stupid mistake and if they had they could
be sued.

I'm not a "let the government do everything" type of guy (despite a
general perception to the contrary). I am against a pervasive
government interfering in our day-to-day lives.
But who better than the government to decide on environmental and
land use issues like this? And if not the government, then who else?
Chopping down an entire mountain has (to say the least) rather far
reaching and long term consequences. Interested parties go far beyond
private land owners; society at large has a say in something like this.
