Many states that have the majority of roadless areas also have economies that rely on tourism, such as #Colorado, #Idaho, and #Montana; when recreational lands & waterways are taken, Americans not only lose #publiclands and #triballands, they lose a percent of state and resident capital & revenue.

All Logging on National Forests Is Worth Less Than Two Home Depot Stores

More than 90 percent of American lumber comes off private land. The Trump administration wants to industrially log America’s national forests anyway.

A comic featuring two birds flying through the sky. In the first panel, the larger bird mentions going to their second home. The smaller bird shows confusion. In the second panel, the smaller bird asks if they are wealthy since they have a second home. In the third panel, the larger bird explains they aren't rich but migratory. The fourth panel shows the birds flying over a picturesque landscape with mountains and rivers, with the larger bird saying they are rich in another way.
