>>2308013i would justify it with the old saying. "Your rights end where my rights begin"
My right to have nature preserved vs your right of free access/use/destruction.

This trickles down to the smallest parts and hits the "innocent" too.
YOU might be able to make fire and boil pine needle tee in a safe and sustainable matter. But Jamal with his single use grill will set the forest a blaze. So all Fire get prohibited.
One person walking off trail doesn't matter
10 yeah there might be a slight trace left
100 there will be a new path
1000 it will be barren earth
10000 it's completely destroyed
so you have to turn it into a museum with permits or lose it all.
