I know you care about protecting our wildlife and forests, so please

take a moment to submit your public comment in support of forest

protection: http://www.care2.com/go/z/16553

 

In 2001, the Bush administration promised to uphold the Roadless

Area Conservation Rule to protect our last wild forests. But, guess

what - Bush and his administration have just reneged on this

promise.

 

Under the Bush administration's new proposed changes to the roadless

rule, not a single acre of the 58.5 million acres of roadless areas

in the National Forests will be protected nationally, and thus will

not be safe from the timber, oil and gas industries. Our roadless

wild forests are a national treasure - how can we allow our

government to give them away to the highest bidder?

 

The environmental community is trying to gather one million comments

to oppose this dangerous proposal. Over 21,000 Care2 members have

already submitted comments - help us reach 50,000:

Incredibly, the administration has already received over 2.5 million

public comments in support of the Roadless Area Conservation Rule,

during previous comment periods, and has chosen to ignore them. So,

we need to be louder. Please speak out today for your wild forests

before it's too late: http://www.care2.com/go/z/16553

 

 

Thank you for helping our wild forests today!
