The federal firings across agencies like the National Park Service and U.S. Forest Service are deeply concerning. These vital public lands play a crucial role in preserving our natural heritage and ecosystems. Terminating staff who protect and manage these precious resources puts them at risk of exploitation for extractive industries like logging and mining. We must safeguard these national forests from encroaching commercial interests that threaten their ecological integrity. I urge you to take action to reverse these harmful workforce reductions and prioritize conservation over resource extraction on our public lands.
