CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) - A mountainous forest in Tennessee is among 10 sites in the South that the Southern Environmental Law Center regards as most endangered.
The Cherokee National Forest in northeast Tennessee is on the list released today, along with such other sites as the Clinch River in southwest Virginia, which the center says is threatened by mountaintop mining. The Clinch flows into Tennessee.
Law Center deputy director Jeff Gleason said if the South were a separate country, it would rank seventh globally in carbon dioxide output.
