The Trump administration's directive to drastically increase logging across 280 million acres of national forests and public lands without adhering to crucial environmental laws is deeply concerning. This reckless move disregards vital protections like the Endangered Species Act and the National Environmental Policy Act, which require careful consideration of environmental impacts before approving projects that could harm wildlife habitats, air and water quality, and wildfire risk mitigation efforts. Appropriate forest management practices are essential for ecological conservation and public safety. I urge you to take a firm stance against this unregulated expansion of logging on public lands. Our forests are a cherished national treasure that must be safeguarded through responsible stewardship for the benefit of all Americans, now and in the future. Please oppose the administration's efforts to bypass environmental laws and jeopardize the long-term viability of these irreplaceable natural resources.
