U.S. Forest Service proposal would allow increased logging on federal lands across the Pacific Northwest .

The plan was adopted in 1994 under President Bill Clinton amid pressure to curb destructive logging practices.

Officials say worsening wildfires due to climate change mean forests must be more actively managed.

The proposal could increase annual timber harvests by at least 33% and potentially more than 200% .
