“subjecting the last remaining slices of surviving complex ecology to constant noise and violence”
The comment
Hello,
I strongly believe the Roadless Rule should not be rescinded. Roads and culverts are the number one source of degradation for our sensitive meadow systems that clean and store water at the top of all watersheds. We have so many roads that are unused wreaking havoc in forests that should be decommissioned or reused rather than building more roads and subjecting the last remaining slices of surviving complex ecology to constant noise and violence. Leave these spaces as they are to recover as much as they can as we continue to degrade their edges. Why are we accelerating some kind of technology-fueled heat death? We have solutions available to us. My heart breaks for future children and wildlife should this rule be passed.
With love and human kinship,
Ash Waters
