[Michael L. Love: proclus on Blogger] Protect Biodiversity in Our National Forests

[Blogger]

We need your help now to secure a future for biodiversity in America's national forests.

Last week, after three previous attempts failed, the U.S. Forest Service released a final draft of its National Forest Management Act regulations, which govern the management of the entire, 193-million acre national forest system.

While it improves on past rules, the new rule comes up short on fish and wildlife protections: A previous requirement that the Forest Service maintain viable populations of fish and wildlife on national forests has been weakened and made discretionary.

Please join us in telling the Forest Service to strengthen the rule to make protecting fish and wildlife a requirement, not just a possibility, in our national forests.
