                        Trump is selling off public forests for timber.

Ordering the Destruction of 280 Million Acres of U.S. Forests

                        The Trump administration has launched a reckless 
assault on America's federal forests, ordering the mass destruction of 280 
million acres of public land for timber production. This includes trees that 
are considered deeply important for their ecosystems.

                        This catastrophic decision benefits corporations at 
the expense of our environment, and it also blatantly disregards the 
Endangered Species Act. In the process, it threatens the survival of 
countless vulnerable animals, including grizzly bears, spotted owls, and 
wild salmon.

                        Under this executive order, the U.S. Forest Service 
and the U.S. Bureau of Land Management are being pressured to increase 
logging quotas and bypass critical environmental protections.

                        The destruction of these forests will accelerate 
climate change by eliminating vital carbon sinks. On top of that, it will 
also pollute rivers and water supplies, degrade recreational areas, and push 
endangered species closer to extinction. And, this will worsen wildfires by 
drying out forest floors, eliminating older and more fire-resistant trees, 
and disrupting ecosystems.

                        To make matters worse, Trump has appointed a former 
timber executive to lead the Forest Service, ensuring that corporate profits 
will come before conservation.

                        Sign the petition to help us demand that the U.S. 
Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management resist these unlawful orders, 
uphold their legal obligations under the Endangered Species Act, and put the 
preservation of our nation's forests before corporate greed.






                 Thank you,
