Is Defending the Roadless Rule Enough?

On episode 91 of the Green Root Podcast—the official podcast of Eco-Integrity Alliance—we get off the beaten path to discuss current threats to roll back the “Roadless Rule” and whether the decades-old conservation strategy of defending the status quo of weak public lands protections is working, with Gary Macfarlane, board member of Friends of the Clearwater. (Audio only this episode, but with photos of Roadless Areas!) Host Josh Schlossberg talks with Gary about: -The history of the Roadless Rule -The U.S. Forest Service’s efforts to roll it back -The existing loopholes in the current rule that allow clearcutting and old-growth logging -The even weaker state Roadless Rules in Idaho and Colorado -How Colorado’s biggest logging project of the century (116,000 acres) is planned for 18,500 acres of Roadless areas under the guise of wildfire -Whether advocating for stronger public lands protections would “undermine” the Roadless Rule Gary Macfarlane and Katie Bilodeau's "The Roadless Report: Analyzing the Impacts of Two Roadless Rules on Forested Wildlands" https://bloximages.chicago2.vip.townn...
