    I urge you to suspend the current proposal to rescind the 2001 Roadless Area Conservation Rule (i.e., “Roadless Rule”). The Roadless Rule was created with overwhelming public support and has protected forests for more than 25 years. Decisions about these areas should be based on science, not short-term corporate interests. These protected forests provide important habitat for wildlife, protect clean water, and give people opportunities to enjoy and connect with nature. These places should continue to be protected, not fragmented, logged, and mined for private or corporate benefit. I have a deep connection to the forests surrounding the Caribou-Speckled Wilderness, some of the now-threatened Roadless Areas in Maine. These intact ecosystems are special places for people to visit, explore, and learn about nature, provide habitat for several threatened species, and are home to some of New England's last remaining old-growth forests. Mainers cannot afford to lose the habitat and water quality benefits provided by these Roadless Areas. I urge you to protect these places for future generations by suspending the current proposal to rescind the Roadless Rule. Sincerely, Anne-Sophie Stäbler 409 Petrel Trl Bradenton, FL 34212-2998 annesophiestaebler@gmail.com

The forests surrounding the Caribou-Speckled Wilderness in Maine, and the now-threatened other Roadless Areas, are deeply important to me.

These places should continue to be protected, not fragmented, logged, and mined for private or corporate benefit. They belong to all of us, and to the many species who live there; to treat them as a way to make some short-term cash for a select few (already rich) individuals is not only morally abhorrent, it’s stupid. I have a deep connection to the forests surrounding the Caribou-Speckled Wilderness, some of the now-threatened Roadless Areas in Maine.

I urge you to protect these places for future generations by suspending the current proposal to rescind the Roadless Rule. I have heard it suggested that more roads will prevent wildfire. We know it is not true. The people making this claim know this is not true. They are aware that a wildfire is four times more likely to start near a road than in a roadless area, and that roadless areas are not impossible to manage soundly. We see this attempt to rescind the Roadless Rule for what it it is: another greedy attempt the American people and the American continent for every last dime they can get and leave the rest of us to choke on the fallout. Do not do this. Sincerely, Joshua Jackson 17 Hornet St Brunswick, ME 04011-2716 writejoshjackson@gmail.com
