Roadless areas matter to me Greatly because they are critical for biodiversity and biodiversity is critical for life on earth as we know it. Roadless areas allow for species to survive and thrive - as soon as you cut a road through, the species depending on roadless areas suffer and then everything downstream suffers as a result. Everything is and all species are interconnected in the web of life. Protect and defend our roadless areas. They are a public treasure not to be tampered with.
