Wendy, those are _your_ points (and agenda?). It's not about what you said, it's about the recommendation. If you look at the recommendation it _doesn't_ say
- people have been collecting firewood
- people have been lighting fires out of season
- people have been lighting fires outside of fire pits
- people have painstakingly been placing poo into poo piles.

What it _does_ say is that there's a very strong possibility that firewood gathering has an impact on biodiversity. Therefore, we're going to ban fires more.

That's not an appropriate analogy, based on the words of the recommendation. Imagine you saw on TV that there's a strong correlation between people beating up other people with bats, and bat ownership. So, out of concern of family bat-related violence, you take away your kid's cricket bat. That'd be closer to what's happening here.
