Last call: comments on rescinding the Roadless Rule close TODAY 10/6. 45 million acres of national forest. 25,000+ miles of trails. Protected from logging and new roads for 25 years, and Trump wants that protection gone. Comment now: act.sierraclub.org/actions/National?actionId=AR0603784

Act to protect it! 45 million acres+ of national forest. 25,000+ miles of trails. 10,000 climbing routes. And it all loses protection if the Trump administration rescinds the Roadless Rule. Public comment closes Tuesday, Oct 6: act.sierraclub.org/actions/National?actionId=AR0603784

39 years ago the world found a hole in the sky and agreed to close it. Over 99% of ozone-depleting chemicals phased out, and last year's Antarctic hole was the 5th 2 weeks ago the UN said we'll cross 1.5°C anyway. The Montreal Protocol is proof the second one is still ours to shape.

In 2010, about 3,200 wild tigers were left. Today there are over 5,500. That wasn't luck. 13 governments, together, protected tiger habitat. On 7/14, Trump's Fish and Wildlife Service cut habitat destruction from the definition of "harm" under the Endangered Species Act. Happy Global Tiger Day. 🐅
