The bulk of the burning seems distant from anything that's ever been "managed" or logged in any way.
Fortunately, NPR is more interested in the facts than clickbait headlines:

‘Canada is the second-largest country in the world, and almost half of that is forest," Barber said. "A lot of that forest is remote, untouched wilderness, and it's very difficult to manage wildfire in those areas where there is no road access or any of the infrastructure needed to support firefighting activity."’
And I mean, it's not an axe I'd normally have a problem with, maybe. The forestry industry is questionable in many respects. Alberta has a problem with the oil industry dominating everything. BC has a problem with the forestry industry.
But this is a "I have a hammer and now everything looks like a nail" article.
They do have an axe to grind, but it has nothing to do with carbon. The National Observer is very sympathetic to aboriginal communities, and BC forestry industry’s relationship with them could be described as antagonistic and definitely problematic.
To me, this is one of those make shit up on the left to combat shit that’s made up on the right, but in the end, it is all just a bunch of lies supported by small grains of truth.
More than anything the article reads like one big run-on-sentence
