“Healthy rivers and streams require protected habitats”
“roadless areas -- not commercial plunder”
The comment
At Friends of Animals, the international animal advocacy group headquartered in Darien, CT, we vigorously oppose the Trump Administration's complete rollback of the 2001 Roadless Rule, which blocks road construction and most logging and mining activity on tens of millions of acres of public forest land.
Since Donald Trump destroyed America's import of timber from Canada, he has put in motion a thoughtless rampage on wilderness and roadless areas without any regard for the threats that poses to wildlife, humans and the environment we share. His actions have threatened forest health and imperiled many species. Healthy rivers and streams require protected habitats and roadless areas -- not commercial plunder.
Endangered and other species shouldn't be threatened by having their critical habitats tossed to logging and mining interests. These animals include grizzly bears, wolverines, spotted owls, salamanders, chipmunks, and Canada lynx.
Please resist and end the assault on forests by killing the proposal to rollback the 2001 Roadless Rule.
