“Indigenous communities that don't have a voice in the matter”
The comment
To Whom it concerns at the Fed Ag dept.,
It is imperative that the federal government continue to preserve wilderness and National forested areas with the Roadless Area Conservation Act.
There is immense value in keeping these ecosystems intact and allowing wildlife and forests to remain road free. We have enough roads already and are losing the ecosystems that we depend upon for clean air and water at an alarming rate.
7 out of 9 planetary boundaries for safely inhabiting the planet have been crossed. We need to recognize the importance of acting in ways that protect the wellbeing for all life - including but not limited to humans.
The Roadless Areas are home to Wild Salmon, Bears, Eagles, Owls and Indigenous communities that don’t have a voice in the matter.
Please continue to keep the protections in place.
Sincerely,
Steven Thompson
