Fight to restore the 2001 Roadless Area Conservation Rule. The Trump administration's decision to rescind it is a catastrophe in motion — one that puts 400 endangered species on an extinction fast track and opens 45 million acres of national forests to roads, drilling, and logging. The stakes are concrete and immediate. A new Center for Biological Diversity report found that 7.4 million acres of endangered-species habitat and nearly 1,800 miles of protected rivers are now at risk. In Alaska, the rollback threatens the Tongass national forest's wild salmon runs and a $1 billion-a-year fishing economy that supports one in ten jobs in south-east Alaska. In Georgia, roadless areas in the Chattahoochee national forest protect headwaters that supply more than 70% of metro Atlanta's drinking water to 5 million people. This isn't just about wildlife — it's about clean water for millions of Americans. Use every tool available to block this rollback. Co-sponsor legislation to codify the Roadless Rule into law so no administration can gut it by executive fiat. The grizzlies, gray wolves, wild salmon, and the communities that depend on these forests are counting on you to act.
