WILDFIRES ARE 5 TIMES MORE LIKELY IN AREAS WITH ROADS THAN IN ROADLESS AREAS. KEEP THE ROADLESS RULE IN PLACE! We live in Silver City, close to the Gila National Forest and the wilderness area. We are trying hard to diversify our economy from cattle and mining. Tourism is a big part of that. People will not come here if our forests are given over to extractive industries. Rescinding the roadless rule will harm our local economy while enriching corporations that care nothing for local conditions. PLEASE! LEAVE THE ROADLESS RULE ALONE!
