The comment

I got some of this information from the 5calls app. The Forest Service has now formally advanced Trump's plan to repeal the Roadless Rule, opening 45 million acres of national forests—including iconic destinations like California's Tahoe National Forest, Alaska's Tongass National Forest, and the Appalachian Trail—to logging and road construction.The removal of these longstanding protections for development will increase wildfire risk, threaten wildlife habitats, and degrade watersheds that provide clean drinking water.America's public lands belong to everyone.Congress should reject this attempt to roll back longstanding protections for our national forests and preserve these lands for future generations. I want to be able to enjoy these lands unadulterated from roads and degradation for my entire life. This move will destroy our public lands, harm wildlife, and compromise our safety, air and water quality. I’m pleading with you to protect these lands for enjoyment but also for safety and longevity of the human race. We need to protect our earth because what else will there be when we deplete its resources?

Keep learning. Keep speaking up.The Roadless Rule depends on public engagement. Share what you've learned.
