The Roadless Area Conservation Rule has protected nearly 60 million acres of roadless national forests since 2001.
These forests are sanctuaries for grizzly bears, gray wolves, salmon, spotted owls, and hundreds of other species.
But now, the Trump administration wants to strip protections from 45 million of those acres— threatening vulnerable species, fouling precious water, and raising wildfire risk.
This would be the single largest evisceration of public lands protections in American history.
The public comment period is only open until Sept. 19th.
