The proposed changes to public lands policy threaten to sell off large tracts for private commercial development, stripping public access and environmental protections from these cherished natural areas. This wholesale privatization jeopardizes precious wildlife habitats, recreation areas, and spaces that belong to all Americans. Preserving public lands is vital for conservation efforts, ensuring future generations can enjoy their natural heritage. Selling them off to the highest bidder benefits only private interests, not the greater public good. I implore you to reject any efforts to auction off public lands and instead uphold their protected status for the benefit of all citizens and the environment.
