The short explanation of this alert was:
Earlier this week, the Bush Administration proposed two devastating policies that would open up vast swaths of our last wild forests to destructive logging and road-building, and essentially gut the immensely popular Roadless Area Conservation Rule. The first proposal allows the Forest Service to completely eliminate roadless area protections for all national forests in Alaska, including America's last wild rainforest, the Tongass National Forest. The second proposal would allow governors to exempt the national forests in their state from the roadless rule.
