I am writing to strongly urge that the Roadless Rule not be rescinded or weakened in any way. Protection from roads is critical to wildlife habitat, especially of vulnerable large mammals like grizzly bears and wolves, key to maintaining water quality in our precious Western rivers, and important for providing human-powered solitude and recreation. I live within close access of the Custer-Gallatin National Forest, and current roadless regulations are needed to retain the pristine areas along the Gallatin and Madison ranges that harbor some of the largest populations of bears, moose, elk, wolves, and wolverines, among others, in the Lower 48 states. Americans from across the country come to see these magnificent animals, or come to fish our pristine rivers. Protecting these areas and their natural residents is crucial - and keeping these regions free of traffic and excessive human presence is required to keep the populations of these animals healthy and growing. Limiting easy vehicular access to such areas also restricts potential for human-caused wildfires, the impacts of which are growing each year as climate change progresses. Please leave the existing regulations in place to protect these wild areas for future generations to enjoy!
