The article discusses reactions of anti environmentalists towards environmentalists. In October 1993 the body of Leroy Jackson, a Native American environmentalist, was found in his van by the side of a New Mexico highway several days before he was scheduled to fly to Washington D.C., to testify against the clearcutting of old-growth "grandfather trees" on the Navajo reservation. A coroner's report found that he'd died of a methadone overdose. In the last months of his life, Jackson had been receiving death threats because of his environmental work and was hanged in effigy at a pro-logging rally.
