@heinrich.senate.gov is making a mistake trying to cut a permitting reform deal in the Republican-controlled Congress. It would only benefit Silicon Valley billionaires and fossil fuel companies. Now is not the time to cut a deal. It’s time to fight for New Mexico’s people and public lands.

"Permit reform" bills would bulldoze a path for data centers across NM, and fossil fuels in the Chaco region and elsewhere. New fossil fuel leases and drilling permits could be rushed through without a hard look at the impacts to people and the environment and by denying people justice in court.

Right now, New Mexicans are preparing for floods as the embers still smolder in the Frijoles wildfire and the Rio Grande runs dry for 220 miles. The Trump admin is killing the climate endangerment finding, the Roadless Rule, and gutting the Endangered Species Act, among 550 deregulatory actions.

The Greater Chaco region is already over 90% leased for oil and gas drilling. Sacred sites, cultural resources, artifacts, and other irreplaceable history stretch far outside the park/buffer zone. Living Indigenous (and other) communities in the area suffer from this overexploitation.

The Trump admin is working overtime to remove oil & gas drilling protections around Chaco. We attended a rally at BLM NM HQ on the last day (of 14!) to comment. Indigenous friends emphasized how important these protections are & how Pueblos weren't consulted. This op-ed says more: bit.ly/4wpc0gL 🌎

demonstrators rally to protect a 10-mile buffer zone around sacred Chaco Canyon where new oil and gas drilling is currently off limits. The trump admin wants to eliminate the buffer.

"It is glaringly obvious that any changes to our bedrock environmental laws signed by President Trump would sacrifice far too much and compromise the imperative to foster a just and equitable transition to an economy powered by renewable energy." -@riogranderift.bsky.social

Western Environmental Law Center @westernlaw.org · 16/04/2026

Proposed NEPA changes like those in the SPEED Act would reduce enviro review to a paperwork exercise & limit judicial accountability to the point of meaninglessness. They would neutralize enviro & community protections to accelerate approvals for energy/technologyinfrastructure—mostly fossil fuels.

These changes would reduce environmental review to a paperwork exercise and limit judicial accountability to the point of meaninglessness.

Proponents of permitting reform have also signaled strong interest in changing other bedrock environmental laws, including the clean water act, endangered species act, and national historical preservation act. These proposals effectively neutralize environmental and community protections to accelerate permit approvals for energy, technology, and other infrastructure--primarily climate-harming fossil fuels.

We urge you to reject permitting reform for what it is: a reactive capitulation to energy and technology industry demands and the trump administration's deliberately engineered regulatory chaos. There is simply no precedent for what this administration has wrought, and permitting reform proposals under consideration--which scapegoat environmental laws--will only deepen the harm.

Western Environmental Law Center @westernlaw.org · 16/04/2026

These members of Congress think they can squeeze a modicum of renewable energy and/or transmission permitting expedience out of Trump and the Rs. This is folly. Believe the evidence of your eyes and ears. They will destroy everything while slapping each other on the back.

The Trump administration and its enablers in Congress have demonstrated their hostility to environmental safeguards as well as indifference or ignorance of the public health and ecological effects of these changes by fundamentally eroding, incapacitating, planning to repeal, removing protections for, or fundamentally undermining as agencies the:

Endangered Species Act
Roadless Rule
Endangerment finding on climate emissions
Clean Water Act
Clean Air Act
Methane Rule
Public Lands Rule
Chaco Culture National Historical Park protection zone
Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness protections
Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska (NPR-A)
Powder River Basin coal leasing withdrawal

Western Environmental Law Center @westernlaw.org · 16/04/2026

"Permit reform" in today's extreme right-wing Congress would mean gutting the National Environmental Policy Act and other bedrock enviro laws, which is unacceptable as the Trump admin attacks every environmental protection, special place (Boundary Waters!), & agency that does some good for nature.

JOINT LETTER
How does "permit reform" legislation target NEPA?
NEPA requires agencies to:
(1) take a hard look at impacts to people, communities, and the environment and disclose those impacts to the public; (2) consider alternatives to avoid and mitigate harm; and (3) provide for public involvement. Sounds like a pretty good idea, right? (Yes, it is).
But back in December, thanks to permit reform backers, the SPEED Act (H.R.4776) aimed to permanently dismantle those protections. It passed in the House then, and it's now pending in the Senate.

JOINT LETTER
If it passes, what would the SPEED Act or equivalent permit reform legislation do?
• Arbitrarily narrow the scope of environmental reviews, paving the way for unchecked resource extraction without proper consideration of environmental and community impacts;
• Permit agencies to ignore new scientific or technical research when preparing an environmental review and thereby risk decisions that harm the public interest, and
• Eviscerate the public's right to seek justice and accountability in federal court.

Here's our fact sheet on this terrible, dangerous bill that would risk polluting the #NMLeg #NMPol water supply with toxic oil and gas chemicals: tinyurl.com/HB207FactSheet PLEASE help us convey that New Mexicans do not want this.

This bill is another attempt by the oil and gas industry to bypass sound science and protecting public health and the environment...And it will be heard in committee this saturday. It's time to speak up. Here's what we can do -->

$We need to overwhelm this hearing with public comments. NM legislators need to hear 1. We do not want fracking waste in our waterways because it is not safe for people or the environment. 2. The science-based rule the NM WQCC passed is sound, and 3. It is wrong for politicians to override the independent body tasked with keeping our water safe. Public hearing details -->$ $Attend the public hearing on HB207 this saturday in person or virtually and tell legislators not to allow the oil and gas industry to dump its fracking waste in our waterways. When: Sat 2/7 9am. Where: Capitol, room 315. Virtual link in action alert linked in previous post. Phone = 253-215-8782, code 89118272717#$

ACTION ALERT for #NMLeg: SATURDAY at 9am at the Roundhouse and online, please provide public comment on HB207, which would mandate the discharge of "treated" oil and gas waste to #NMPol rivers, streams, and groundwater. All the info to join: myemail.constantcontact.com/ACTION-ALERT...

Water advocacy action alert: HB207 would mandate discharge of "treated" oil and gas waste ("produced water") to our state's rivers, streams, and groundwater. This Saturday, we need to speak up and tell legislators to stop this bill. What's produced water? -->

What is produced water? It's a highly toxic waste by product of oil and gas operations. According to the best science, treatment technologies do not currently exist that allow for the safe discharge of produced water to our waterways. Produced water treatment does not remove all toxins and does not suggest protective standards are in place to shield the public and environment from the harms caused by those toxins. So what is this bill? -->

What does HB 207 do? Mandates that the water quality control commission authorize discharge of treated produced water to nm's rivers, streams, and ground water. Mandates use of treated produced water for irrigation of industrial crops, on rangeland, and for manufacturing and other industrial uses, such as data centers. Mandates use of treated produced water for dust control on roads and for hydrogen production. Mandates that the WQCC allow these various uses and discharges by the end of 2025. That sounds...awful? -->

3. Accountability. We cannot move forward w/o a reckoning for those who have designed, led, & executed this agenda. This includes fair & transparent criminal & civil investigations into the regime’s transgressions. We must also reject the policy logic that gave rise to a weaponized security state.

Accountability. We cannot move forward absent a reckoning with those who have designed, led, and executed the regime’s agenda. This includes fair and transparent criminal and civil investigations into the regime’s transgressions. We must also reject the policy logic that gave rise to the security state ostensibly intended to shield the United States from foreign terrorism but that this regime has now weaponized against the people and communities who have made their home in this country.
.
National imagination. We must fight with an eye to the future—a day when this regime’s transgressions and atrocities have ceased—and we have an opportunity to rethink and revitalize American democracy. The institutions and systems that we once assumed would shield us from the rise of tyranny in the United States have proven fallible. These institutions and systems must therefore be rethought and revitalized and, in some instances such as ICE, dismantled altogether. In the domain of environmental law, we are doing just that with our Emergent Horizons campaign, an effort designed to spark society-wide climate and conservation action fit for the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century and beyond.

The Trump regime threatens our vision of a thriving U.S. West, abundant w/interconnected ecosystems, powered by renewables, and tended by communities united in an ecology of kinship. We urge society-wide action. Each person—based on their ability and capacity—please consider 4 categories of action:

The Trump regime gravely threatens our vision here at WELC of a thriving U.S. West, abundant with interconnected ecosystems, powered by renewables, and tended by communities united in an ecology of kinship. It is this threat -- to people, to country, to the world around us -- that compels us to urge society-wide public action. We therefore urge that each person -- based on their ability and capacity -- consider four categories of action to bring this promise to life:

Resolute, peaceful protest. The regime seeks to inflame chaos as a pretext to oppress people and communities with paramilitary forces. We must peacefully stand with conviction in defiance of these actions, asserting our freedoms of speech and assembly and right to petition the government for a redress of grievances. Courage is contagious.
.
Mutual aid and solidarity. Respect your neighbors. Stand with your neighbors. Provide aid to your neighbors. And do so regardless of whether they are a citizen or immigrant because we are all in this together. We say this in full light of the courage we have witnessed in Minnesotans over the past days and weeks. To provide immediate support, we recommend Stand with Minnesota, which provides a vetted directory of organizations and opportunities seeking donations. As demonstrated by Minnesota, building networks of mutual aid and solidarity in your community creates the conditions for collective resilience

The same day, DHS/ICE asserted the sweeping power to break into homes w/o a judicial warrant, contrary to the U.S. Constitution. On 1/24, ICE agents killed Alex Pretti, who cared deeply for his neighbors, stood against the regime’s oppressive tactics in MN, and shared our love for the natural world.

That same day, the Associated Press reported that the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees ICE, asserted the sweeping power to break into homes without a judicial warrant, contrary to the U.S. Constitution’s Fourth Amendment and judicial precedent. On January 24th, the logic of this entire strategy further unspooled with the killing of Alex Pretti in the streets of Minneapolis—a human being, we note, who cared deeply for his neighbors, stood against the regime’s oppressive tactics in Minneapolis, and shared our love for the natural world.

On 1/21, ICE took a 5-year-old asylum seeker for bait to detain his father. Agents sent both far from home to a detention center in TX despite w/o a deportation order (both entered the country legally) in yet another heartbreaking example of people detained or deported with no lawful authority.

It declined to investigate the ICE officer who perpetrated that horrific event, falsely claimed Renée Good was a “domestic terrorist,” threatened to invoke the 1792 Insurrection Act, opened transparently political federal investigations into Minnesota public officials including the governor, attorney general, and Minneapolis mayor, as well as Renée Good’s widow, and intensified its campaign of terror against the people of Minneapolis.

This includes actions such as those on 1/21, when ICE agents took 5-year-old asylum seeker Liam Conejo Ramos after he arrived home from preschool, using him as bait to detain his father. Agents sent both far from home to a detention center in Texas despite lacking a deportation order (both entered the country legally at a U.S. port of entry) in yet another heartbreaking example of community members detained or deported by ICE with zero lawful authority to do so.

In March 2023, Donald Trump ominously proclaimed to his supporters that “I am your retribution,” revealing his intent to betray his oath of office and responsibility to the whole American public. A year into his second term, his regime has repeatedly laid siege to American cities with heavily armed paramilitary forces. On January 7th, as the New Year dawned, the regime’s provocations reached new levels in Minneapolis, where an ICE agent killed Renée Good, a 37-year mother, wife, poet, and American citizen.

The Declaration of Independence's unequivocal, if aspirational, statement that "all men are created equal" and "endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, & the pursuit of happiness" is now in peril & our constitutional system at risk of collapse.

The U.S. was forged by waves of immigrants from across the world and the enduring presence of Indigenous peoples. These complex demographics have inspired both conflict and cooperation channeled through a constitutional system grounded in the declaration of Independence's unequivocal, if aspirational, statement that "all men are created equal" and "endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. This founding declaration is now in peril and the constitutional system that grew from it at risk of collapse. None of this is a surprise.

Hope sits in the trenches,

its teeth cracked,
its knuckles bruised,

Its heart is still beating
Because even here,
Even now,
It knows that a better world
Is worth fighting for.

REASON #3:
AVOIDING ACCOUNTABILITY
When communities and advocacy groups identify a project's potential threats, the SPEED act would make it for people to protect their rights and interests. It would do this in many ways, including 1) narrowing the window for filing lawsuits from 6 years to 150 days, and 2) prohibiting courts from enjoining federal agency decisions that violate the law, regardless of the harm that those decisions may cause.
Put simply, rather than strengthen NEPA as a tool to improve permitting, it would do precisely what NEPA's critics argue: Turn NEPA into little more than a paperwork checklist that won't improve decisions but risks grave harm to people, communities, and the places we love.

The SPEED Act allows federal agencies to ignore science and all impacts from a project. In a notably terrible move, the bill tells agencies that they don't need to consider new research or gather the information needed to make a reasonable decision once a developer submits a permit application.

REASON #1:
DISMANTLING THE
NATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL
POLICY ACT (NEPA)
NEPA is America's foundational, community-focused environmental law. It provides people with a voice in the decision-making processes that affect their lives and values, serving as a counter to entrenched development interests with insider access to politicians and decisionmakers.
This is particularly critical for communities already harmed by higher pollution rates and accelerated climate risks due to environmental racism or limited access to resources.

In less awesome news, we're fighting to defend wildly popular, core environmental laws & policies under attack by the Trump admin: Roadless Rule, Public Lands Rule, Endangered Species Act, & NEPA. We need all the help we can get in these (& more) fights ahead. westernlaw.org/donate/ #GivingTuesday

The Roadless Rule is an extremely popular, science-based provision limiting commercial logging and associated road construction on some of the wildest and most undisturbed public lands in the country. One of the best American ideas of this century, the Roadless Rule protects 58.5 million acres of intact national forest lands. Yet now the Trump administration intends to rescind the Roadless Rule to allow the private logging, mining, and fossil fuel industries to profit at great generational cost to the American people and the natural world. We have vowed to fight for the Roadless Rule—and for the wild places it protects and preserves.

WELC led a coalition of groups that successfully petitioned the BLM to create its 2024 Public Lands Rule. The landmark rule recognizes that conservation in public lands management is equal to extractive uses such as fossil fuel production and mining. This rule improves the balance of the agency’s multiple-use mission across 245 million acres of public lands. The Trump administration plans to eliminate the rule. We will defend the rule, which at last operationalizes the BLM’s longstanding conservation authority and responsibility under the law.

NEPA: The Trump administration and some members of Congress are hellbent on eviscerating the country’s environmental “Magna Carta,” NEPA. New procedures severely limit NEPA’s application and the public’s right to participate in decisions affecting their communities. Worse still, Congress is considering several bills to further limit NEPA, including a blatant effort at wholesale deregulation under a pretense of "permit reform." The SPEED Act would silence communities, limit env reviews, exclude science, and impose excessive barriers to judicial review—all for private profit. This bill has a dangerous level of support because the issue has been misleadingly framed. We are using our expertise to defend NEPA for all people.

MT is one of only a handful of states that recognizes a constitutional right to a clean and healthy environment, including a stable climate.

Beginning in 2020, we represented 16 young people in a challenge to the state of Montana’s fossil fuel permitting practices that threaten the state’s atmosphere, forests, rivers, lakes, fish, and wildlife. Elected officials’ climate denial and fealty to the fossil fuel industry have harmed these young people’s way of life and constitutional rights to pursue liberty and happiness through the enjoyment of a clean and healthful environment. We took on this case to hold MT’s government accountable and defend these youths’ constitutional rights. Alongside our partners at Our Children’s Trust and McGarvey Law, in 2023, we brought our clients’ powerful stories and climate science into the courtroom in the first ever U.S. climate trial in history. The youth plaintiffs ranged in age from 2-18 when we first filed the lawsuit. They represent unique landscapes and geographies from across the state of Montana and its Tribal lands. During this landmark trial, the youth plaintiffs bravely testified about how climate change has harmed their health, livelihoods, cultural practices, psychological well-being, and the state they call home. World-renowned climate experts testified that Montana’s promotion of fossil fuels and suppression of renewable energy development have aggravated drought, fueled megafires, and depleted natural resources.
We were ecstatic when the court ruled in the youth plaintiffs’ favor in 2023, recognizing that the right to a clean and healthful environment is meaningless without a livable climate. One expert called this “the strongest decision on climate change ever issued by any court.” Ever defiant, the state appealed our landmark decision to the Montana Supreme Court. Read more online

We won a bunch of cases for #CleanWater (& things that live in it) in #WApol, #ORpol, #NMPol, & beyond. In NM, we secured protections from Big Oil & the gov's plan to allow #fracking wastewater discharge to rivers/streams/land—as dangerous as it sounds. westernlaw.org/donate/ #GivingTuesday

Industrial dairies that confine hundreds or thousands of cows in cramped lots create enormous amounts of manure. This waste contains phosphorus and nitrogen, which can cause serious water quality problems. The Washington Department of Ecology must ensure such facilities control these nutrients before they run off into nearby surface waters or leach into groundwater. Yet, Ecology has consistently failed to do so, endangering Washington’s waters, including Puget Sound and communities’ drinking water. In 2021, we won our case against the department's weak pollution discharge permits. Unfortunately, Ecology responded by writing new permits that were still too permissive, leaving communities at risk. We challenged those permits, winning our case this year and forcing Ecology back to the drawing board. Our victory will require new permits that include public review of each factory farm’s pollution control plan, site-specific studies to protect nearby waters, groundwater monitoring for every facility, and improved manure storage systems.

Native winter steelhead trout in Oregon’s upper Willamette River basin are threatened with extinction. Yet the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers allows its hatcheries to produce and release non-native summer steelhead into the North and South Santiam Rivers in April for anglers who want to fish in warmer weather. Summer steelhead can compete with, prey upon, and interbreed with winter steelhead, contributing to its decline. We challenged the non-native hatchery steelhead program because of its harmful effects on threatened winter steelhead recovery, and early this year, we won our case, with a remedy forthcoming.

We also kicked butt for #CanadaLynx (& forests). We fought a logging plan in key #lynx habitat in the Kettle River Mountains of NE Washington's Colville National Forest. We also compelled the feds to write the first ever lynx recovery plan. Lynx are super cool! westernlaw.org/donate/ #GivingTuesday

Early this year, our legal advocacy resulted in vital improvements to a federal logging plan in important lynx habitat in the Kettle River Mountains of northeast Washington. Our legal agreement with the U.S. Forest Service protects this habitat in the Colville National Forest and modifies the project to protect lynx habitat and other key ecological values in the area. The federal government is required to protect and recover imperiled species such as the Canada lynx, and to “look before it leaps” when authorizing actions that may impede their recovery. When the Service proposed this logging, the agency failed to meet either requirement. Our legal agreement not only benefits threatened lynx, in part by reestablishing protective lynx analysis unit boundaries—it also protects vital national forest parcels and maintains 40% or more forest canopy in riparian areas critical for lynx forage, travel, seclusion, and breeding habitat.

In recent years, WELC has prevailed in two court cases to compel the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to design a recovery plan for threatened Canada lynx. The Service finalized such a plan and proposed new critical habitat designations for Canada lynx, including first-ever habitat protections in the southern Rocky Mountains. We have had to push the Service for every inch of progress on Canada lynx recovery, and we are hopeful the agency is beginning a new chapter of good-faith efforts for this ecologically significant, snow-dependent wild cat. Should the Trump administration try to claw back these protections, we won’t hesitate to challenge it in court.

Protecting grizzly bears across the west: significant wins and ongoing advocacy

Our legal advocacy restored protections for Greater Yellowstone grizzly bears in 2018. This important victory allows us to sustain efforts to conserve and recover this western icon even as it faces its highest mortality year yet in 2025. Climate change has diminished the bears’ food and water supplies that, in turn, have increased human-bear conflicts. A federal plan to extend the livestock grazing season and range adjacent to Yellowstone National Park in the Absaroka Mountains’ Paradise Valley only exacerbated these challenges, compelling us to action. Through hard work and savvy lawyering, we challenged this plan in federal court and won, keeping livestock out of key grizzly recovery zones, reducing the potential for conflict.

Grizzly bears in the Northern Continental Divide Ecosystem recovery zone in Montana have faced a formidable foe in their recovery journey: train strikes.

On 206 miles of tracks, trains have caused the deaths of 75 bears between 1975 and 2023.

We challenged BNSF Railway Company for its failure to address this problem. This year, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service approved a plan that will reduce avoidable grizzly strikes with the company quickly removing grain spills, repairing leaking cars, managing vegetation, and protecting tracks from livestock. BNSF will also fund three new grizzly technicians to reduce human-grizzly conflicts in the area.

Wildlife “management” killing and removal is the leading cause of grizzly bear mortality in the U.S. In Montana, federal wildlife-killing program Wildlife Services is notorious for its aggressive use of lethal removal of grizzly bears and other wildlife. Late last year, we won a case against Wildlife Services for failing to take a hard look at the consequences of its aggressive grizzly bear killing regime. One harmful impact is the impediment of grizzly connectivity between recovery zones, which scientists agree is key to the bears’ recovery. Thanks to our victory, Wildlife Services must thoroughly analyze the science, which casts doubt on the effectiveness of lethal grizzly removal, and provides breathing room for long-range conservation and recovery action.

In Oregon, we led the effort to secure protections for #beavers, which can help restore over 106,000 miles of impaired rivers and streams. #BeaverBelievers rejoiced! westernlaw.org/donate/ #GivingTuesday

Oregon’s 2025 legislative session united Beaver Believers and water advocates toward a common goal: restoring over 106,000 miles of struggling rivers and streams. The Beaver State has the most miles of impaired waterways nationwide due to sedimentation, high water temperatures, and low dissolved oxygen. Expensive solutions for analysis and remediation have proven impossible to implement at the scale demanded. Fortunately, decades of scientific evidence show the effectiveness of beaver dam complexes in addressing these challenges. Championed by WELC, HB 3932 proposed the affordable, low-tech strategy of supporting natural recovery solutions by closing beaver hunting and trapping in impaired waterways on public lands. The main idea? Give beavers space and time to use their ecosystem engineering talents in places that need it most. In partnership with the Oregon Wildlife Coalition, partner groups, and scientific experts, HB 3932 is now state law—an innovative, encouraging win for Oregon beavers, waterways, and communities.

On 8/12, 5 cabinet secs sat on the WQCC—a first in its 58-year history—displacing experienced agency staff. Emails show the gov’s office orchestrated “WATRgate,” replacing science with politics. They all did the gov’s bidding, rejecting motions to stick with the rule that protects clean water.

At an August 12 commission meeting, something highly unusual happened: Five cabinet secretaries sat as commissioners—a first in the commission’s 58-year history—displacing experienced agency staff. Emails show the governor’s office orchestrated “WATRgate,” replacing science on the commission with politics. These commissioners all did the governor’s bidding, rejecting motions to stick with the rule that protects clean water.

It’s an enormous gift to the oil and gas industry—and a reckless gamble on technology that doesn’t yet exist. The WQCC JUST did a rulemaking comprehensively examining the science, with even Big Oil’s witness conceding the technology “isn’t there yet” to discharge to state waters at scale.

$In a little-known corner of state government lies the Water Quality Control Commission. It’s supposed to protect clean water, but the governor is directing certain members of the commission to approve a plan written by Big Oil to allow the state’s biggest polluters to discharge treated fracking waste into New Mexico’s water supply. It’s an enormous gift to the oil and gas industry—and a reckless gamble on technology that doesn’t yet exist.$

Also adding this, stolen from our Oregon pals because the metaphor is brilliant. Imagine Oregon's forests as a pizza. The logging industry got to eat 5 of 6 slices. We're being asked what is a fair way to share the last slice with them. Stand up for the #RoadlessRule TODAY! Submit a comment ⤴️

We signed on to the nonprofit letter to USFS Chief Tom Schulz to save the #RoadlessRule along with 328 other well-respected groups. We don't expect him to listen. After all, he is the first USFS chief who has never worked at the Service. Prepare for a knock-down, drag-out fight. We are.

Dear Chief Schultz, We, the undersigned groups representing millions of members, urge you not to rescind the Roadless Conservation Area Rule (Roadless Rule) but instead to keep the Rule in place to protect the wildest parts of our public forests. The plan to rescind this rule jeopardizes nearly 45 million acres of heritage forestland managed by the U.S. Forest Service, comprising nearly a quarter of the territory in our national forest system. Wild forests protected by Inventoried Roadless Area status provide the following benefits to the American public. ● Vital Habitat for Imperiled Species: The lands in question include diverse forests, wetlands, canyons and other undeveloped lands that are critical to our nation's ecological health. Because of their intact nature, these Roadless Areas provide habitat for many imperiled species such as California condors, grizzly bears and wolves in the Yellowstone area, native salmon and trout in the Pacific Northwest, migratory songbirds in the Appalachian hardwoods and more. They also sustain wild salmon in Southeast Alaska, where they are the lifeblood for both the fishing industry and traditional subsistence practices of Indigenous communities. ● Important for Protecting Migration Corridors and Game Habitat: Protected roadless areas help ensure that migratory game corridors for species such as elk and mule deer remain intact and protected from roads and the industrial development roads enable. ● Vital for America’s Drinking Water: The US National Forests are the headwaters of many of our great rivers and one of the largest sources of municipal water supply in the nation, serving over 60 million people in 3,400 communities in 33 states. Roads are a major cause of water pollution. Because it provides significant protection for upper watersheds, the Roadless Rule is vital for maintaining clean drinking water for communities across the country. Major U.S. cities including Los Angeles, Portland, Denver and Atlanta receive a signi…

Outdoor Recreation: Roadless areas offer abundant outdoor recreation opportunities such as hunting, fishing, camping and other activities. Every year, millions of people take advantage of the free (or extremely affordable) access to these public lands. Roadless areas protect 11,337 climbing routes and boulder problems, more than 1,000 whitewater paddling runs, 43,826 miles of trail, and 20,298 mountain biking trails. Large sections of the Continental Divide, Pacific Crest, and Appalachian National Scenic Trails traverse protected roadless areas. ● Climate mitigation: Roadless areas - especially those with significant stands of mature and old-growth trees - are vital for absorbing and storing carbon, which mitigates the impacts of climate change. Among these forests, is Alaska’s Tongass National Forest, the nation’s largest and a global carbon sink, with its old-growth trees capturing 10 million metric tons of CO₂ every year. Rescinding roadless area protection would undermine all of the benefits listed above as well as endanger communities and put a financial burden on communities and taxpayers. ● Increased risk of wildfires: Building more roads will lead to more wildfires. New research currently in peer-review that analyzed over 30 years of data shows that from 1992-2024 wildfires were four times as likely to start in areas with roads than in roadless forest tracts. Another study showed that more than 90 percent of all wildfires nationwide occurred within half a mile of a road. ● Financial burden on communities: An increase in logging, mining and drilling activities - along with harms caused by roads such as increased sedimentation loads or impaired culverts - can have devastating impacts to drinking water quality and fish habitat. The cost will fall on communities, who will face threats to their supply of clean water and will need to clean up polluted water before sending it to households and local economies – and will suffer from the damage to commercial and recr…
