Native forests, roads and fires
The last remaining roadless intact old-growth forests in America
Trump administration to rescind rule protecting old-growth forests"Almost 45m acres of national forests could be potentially opened to road construction, drilling and logging."
“...The roadless rule has always allowed for targeted actions to reduce hazardous fuels. What it does not allow is using wildfire as an excuse to open some of America’s most intact public forests to industrial exploitation and new road construction.The administration’s attempt to blame the roadless rule for worsening wildfire risk ignores both the facts and the rule itself. Roads generally lead to more ignitions and result in more wildfires – not fewer."
“Once you start bulldozing roads for commercial logging and industrial development, there’s no getting them back.” >>
