Removal of the roadless rule would inflict immense damage on the wild areas of the most beautiful continent on the world. Wilderness has constantly been under attack on this continent from it's inception as a colony. It is our civic duty as Americans to protect the most beautiful areas of this nation and preserve these lands for our progeny. Rescission of this rule directly impacts me as areas of the Cherokee national forest would suddenly be allowed to be cut for timber, and otherwise be developed which irrevocably destroys the forests natural state that I personally enjoy and partake in. The Cherokee national forest is also a wildlife management area; logging and development would interfere with the deer, bear, turkey, and other important game and wildlife. If America loses the Roadless Rule, then it's last remaining untouched forests may never fully recover from the damage done to them. The lack of timber or industry listed as a reason to remove the Roadless Rule can be resolved without damaging more forests. Once these precious forests are cut, America will find itself in the same place it is now: without more forest to cut. Planned timber management can be invested in now to utilize the logging forests we already have. The Roadless Rule must not be removed for the protection of wilderness, wildlife and to keep America beautiful.
