In an outrageous move, the Obama administration has proposed setting aside vital protections that have protected the forest homes of lynx and other imperiled wildlife on our national forests since Ronald Reagan was president.
The U.S. Forest Service manages 175 national forests and grasslands spread across 190 million acres in 42 states and Puerto Rico.
These magnificent landscapes support diverse ecosystems and an incredible array of fish, wildlife and plants including iconic animals such as lynx, antelope, bison, bighorn sheep, elk and cutthroat trout. In all, our national forests provide habitat for more than 5,000 species of fish and wildlife and more than 10,000 plant species.
The deadline for public comments on the Obama forest plan is May 16th so please don't waste any more time.
