The next heartbreaking attack on public lands is the proposed end to the "roadless rule" which protects wild areas across the US from road building and resource extraction.

The administration is claiming that this is an effort to prevent wildfires, but roads actually increase ignition rates. The reality is that this is just the next attempt at opening the land up for logging, mining and drilling (you may recall this other post about that).

The 30 day comment period started today. You can leave comments here. You can read about how to leave useful comments here.

The areas protected by the roadless rule are mostly in the western states, but this is a national issue, so please comment!
