USDA Proposal Would Rescind Roadless Rule on 44 Million Acres
Original: USDA Proposal To Rescind Roadless Rule Could Impact Wildlife Across More Than 44 Million Acres Of National Forests
The USDA has proposed rescinding the Roadless Rule, a Clinton-era measure that restricts road construction and logging across millions of acres of national forest land. If enacted, the change would open more than 44 million acres to development, drawing concern from conservation and animal welfare advocates who warn of serious consequences for wildlife habitats nationwide.
Why now: The proposal is new and would affect a vast swath of protected forest, raising alarm among conservationists.
