craig, suspending the roadless rule removes protection for over 6 million acres of federal land in Montana alone. It will lead to logging and development which fragments habitat, especially habitat needed for grizzly bears and elk though 56% of other endangered species are also affected. It will increase wildfire danger and degrade water quality. Opening more and more public land to commercial exploitation makes outdoor recreation less and less possible. The general quality of hunting and fishing is in serious decline. What i mean by healthy habitat is what sustains healthy populations of game-- for their own sake and for our pursuit of them. Don't take my word for it. Read Aldo Leopold.
I asked you not to bs me with your feelings, it is no surprise that there is a hard, non negotiable divide in the US today. Clearly, you did not read the actual order. Open your eyes and see, that you can go directly to the source, and do not have to parrot orgs that make you a useful idiot.
I profusely apologize for asking you to present some facts. I might skip a little golfing, you drive down skid row Missoula and stir some feelings in you, before you drive off to the burbs. Line by line, you try to push lies. By the way, doesn't your little echo chamber confirm, there are more grizzlies in Montana today, than in 1900. And, elk already have plenty of habitat, it's called trophy ranches posted by your cali buddies.
