The Roadless Area Conservation Rule has protected roadless forests since 2001, keeping them free from logging, road-building, and other industrial development.
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.
