This past September, Earthjustice scored a huge victory for our roadless national forests when a federal district court ordered the reinstatement of the Roadless Rule. The Roadless Rule protects roadless forest areas from road-building and most logging. This is bad news for the timber, mining, and oil & gas industries ... And so they're putting pressure on their friends in the Bush Administration to challenge the victory.
Roadless area logging tends to target irreplaceable old growth forests. Many of these majestic trees have stood for hundreds of years. By targeting old-growth, the timber companies are destroying natural treasures that cannot be replaced in our lifetime.
The future of nearly 50 million acres of wild, national forests and grasslands hangs in the balance. Tell the secretary of the USDA, Michael Johanns, to protect our roadless areas by enforcing the Roadless Rule.
