Summary This ten-month investigation into "eco-terrorism" reveals millions of dollars in damage and threats to human life in the American West resulting from two decades of extremist acts ostensibly committed in the name of saving the environment. The report establishes a correlation between environmentalists and animal rights activists, previously considered two separate camps.
