The short explanation of this alert was:
Send Comments to Idaho's Lieutenant Governor to Protect National Forests
As the final months of the Bush administration come to close, the assault on our public lands continues. Recently the administration initiated a national rulemaking that will decide the fate of 9.3 million acres of roadless areas in Idaho's national forests — part of the greater Yellowstone ecosystem.
These areas are currently protected under the 2001 Roadless Rule, but the proposed rulemakings would remove these protections and could open the door to mining, logging, oil and gas drilling as well as other development.
The Bush administration's proposed action in Idaho comes on the heels of plans that would put two other crown jewels of our national forests system at risk: Alaska's Tongass National Forest and Colorado's Rocky Mountains.
Please sign the letter to Idaho's Lieutenant Governor Jim Risch, and include your own comments about why Idaho's roadless areas should be protected.
