Protect national forests from destructive logging executive order
14 so far! Help us get to 25 signers!
The president's executive order to massively expand logging in national forests is a grave threat to our public lands, ecosystems, and vulnerable wildlife species. Circumventing endangered species protections and ramping up commercial timber extraction across 280 million acres puts short-term profits ahead of long-term sustainability and environmental preservation. Our national forests are invaluable natural treasures that provide clean air and water, recreational opportunities, and habitat for diverse flora and fauna. Many rare and at-risk species like grizzly bears, spotted owls, and wild salmon depend on these intact forest habitats for survival. Aggressive logging and road-building will fragment these habitats, drive species towards extinction, increase wildfire risk, and pollute vital waterways. Rather than succumbing to industry pressure, we must safeguard our public lands as a sacred trust for future generations. Prioritizing conservation over exploitation is crucial for addressing the climate crisis, protecting biodiversity, and ensuring all Americans can enjoy these natural wonders for years to come.
