this is absolutely absurd and the American people do not want this. separating these areas set aside for wildlife and conservation efforts will massively impact animal movement and migration patterns, local populations, and the quality of life for the species that live there. Not to mention that one of the things that keeps America beautiful is the untouched land we have, and desperately need to preserve in a growing world. the president and his administration are PUBLIC SERVANTS and need to START ACTING LIKE IT. They need to be reigned in and be forced to actually make decisions for the betterment of the AMERICAN PEOPLE and not just for their rich friends. It's disgusting. Make better choices.

This is absolutely absurd and the American people do not want this. Creating more roads through areas set aside for wildlife and conservation efforts will massively impact animal movement and migration patterns, local populations, and the quality of life for the species that live there. Not to mention that one of the things that keeps America beautiful is the untouched land we have, and desperately need to preserve in a growing world. I want our kids to know nature, and want to continue preserving our world. If we don’t stop this, it will be too late for the next generation.

This is completely absurd and the American people do not want this. Creating more roads through areas set aside for wildlife and conservation efforts will massively impact animal movement and migration patterns, local populations, and the quality of life for the species that live there. Not to mention that one of the things that keeps America beautiful is the untouched land we have, and desperately need to preserve in a growing world. The President and his administration are PUBLIC SERVANTS, and better start acting like it and less like servants to themselves and whoever is willing to write a big enough check. This is not what America should be about.

The American people want more nature, not more roads. Creating more roads through areas set aside for wildlife and conservation efforts will massively impact animal movement and migration patterns, local populations, and the quality of life for the species that live there. Not to mention that one of the things that keeps America beautiful is the untouched land we have, and desperately need to preserve in a growing world. The President and his administration are servants to the public, not servants to themselves and whoever is willing to write a big enough check. These lands are beyond important and we need to keep our beautiful Earth intact before it's too late.

This is absolutely absurd and the American people do not want this. Creating more roads through areas set aside for wildlife and conservation efforts will massively impact animal movement and migration patterns, local populations, the quality of life for the species that live there and not only would it affect the wildlife but also the safety of people driving on that newly constructed road.

This is absolutely absurd and the American people do not want this. Creating more roads through areas set aside for wildlife, nature, and conservation efforts will massively negatively impact animal movement and migration patterns, local populations, and the quality of life for the species that live there. Not to mention that one of the things that keeps America beautiful is the untouched and PROTECTED land we have, and desperately need to preserve in a growing world.

Many of us think this idea is absurd. Creating more roads through areas set aside for wildlife and conservation efforts will massively impact animal movement and migration patterns, local populations, and the quality of life for the species that live there. Not to mention that one of the things that keeps America beautiful is the untouched land we have, and desperately need to preserve in a growing world. Please do not lift this ban!

retracting this rule is absolutely absurd, inconsiderate and the American people do not want this. Creating more roads through areas set aside for wildlife and conservation efforts will massively impact animal movement and migration patterns, local populations, and the quality of life for the species that live there. Not to mention that one of the things that keeps America beautiful is the untouched land we have, and DESPERATELY need to preserve in a growing world. The President and his administration are PUBLIC SERVANTS, and better start acting like it and less like servants to themselves and whoever is willing to write a big enough check. to my understanding retracting this will ultimately allow for upheavel of forestry diversity, less funding and less focus on taking care of these ecostystems and more on the litteral pavement your putting inbetween these animals homes, I frankly do not trust yall to respect and place these divisions respectfully.

Sharing & methodology

These results are meant to be shared.

Please cite us. This analysis is the intellectual property of Roadless.org and Nicholas Holshouser. You are welcome to reproduce it — every reproduction must include this citation:

Roadless.org and Nicholas Holshouser, “2001 Roadless Rule Revision — Substantive Analysis,” https://roadless.org.

How it works. A large language model (an open-weight Qwen3.8 model) reads each substantive comment and copies, word for word, the passages that carry its analytical gap, evidence, request, alternative and connection to the place; it returns no scores. Code grades those passages 0–3 on eight dimensions — evidence, legal grounding, engagement with the environmental analysis, analytical gaps, alternatives, specific requests, position, and local knowledge — with legal grounding taken from a citation scan, not the model. For the strongest tenth on each side, the copied passages are checked against the comment and shown as exhibits. A comment counts as “substantive” when it clears a floor filter — it must show at least one substantive signal (a named entity, a specific citation, a stated analytical deficiency, or first-person testimony), which screens out one-line and purely conclusory submissions before any model scoring.
