The comment

I do not support repealing the Roadless Rule, nor do I support Executive Order 14192, Unleashing Prosperity Through Deregulation, Executive Order 14225, Immediate Expansion of American Timber Production, Executive Order 14154, Unleashing American Energy, and Executive Order 14153, Unleashing Alaska's Extraordinary Resource Potential. This administration has been very transparent that it only values our environmental resources for what can be extracted from them. Natural resources require a holistic approach, especially when we are in a GLOBAL CLIMATE CRISIS, and I haven't heard any support for science-backed decisions regarding this matter. The proposal reads like an attempt to return jurisdiction to local decision-makers and to mitigate forest fires, but in concert with the map and executive orders, it reads as an incredibly transparent ploy to remove a roadblock from plundering our forests for timber. Forest fires are four times more likely to be started next to roads; and our large ancient trees do a vastly better job of removing carbon from our atmosphere. Money will not save the future of humanity; plundering our magnificent ancient forests seems shockingly shortsighted. Until this administration acknowledges actual environmental experts on issues like these, it will not have the trust of much of the American people.

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