This is a battle for our heritage of the natural world, and the plunderers of the environment must be held back. Teddy Roosevelt would have approved. Keep up your great work, Dr!

I have submitted a comment. Thank you for this post and the helpful information to support this effort. For anyone who feels uncertain or thinks they don’t have the time to submit a comment, I urge you to imagine miles of clear-cut land where beautiful forests once stood. In that moment, the 30 minutes it might have taken to submit a comment to protect our lands will feel like the most important investment you could have made.
