For ppl who aren't aware:
Old temperate forests are insanely rare nowadays and extremely important ecosystems lost forever once cut.
They're not just "old trees" but intricate networks of trees, fungi and all kinds of living creatures.
You CANNOT replant this!! Once it's gone it's lost FOREVER!!!

Clip from the linked article, reading: Use of the CRA can sweep aside years of public input and environmental review, short-circuiting usual regulatory processes. For example, in the Boundary Waters, the  20-year mining ban was created in 2023, after an extensive study and public survey by the U.S. Forest Service found that mining in the area would create irreparable environmental damage. Overturning this public land order  would provide mining companies with unprecedented access to 225,000 acres in the Superior National Forest. Allowing copper mining in this watershed would threaten the area’s $540 million recreation and tourism economy. Copper sulfide mining produces sulfuric acid β€” essentially battery acid β€” that could flow into nearby streams or groundwater, potentially contaminating the system of 1,000 interconnected lakes in the BCWA.

Another clip from the linked article, reading: Furthermore, an independent peer-reviewed study by economists at Harvard University examined the proposed Boundary Waters mining plan across 72 different economic scenarios over a 20-year window. Their findings were stark: in 89% of scenarios, the net economic value of allowing copper-nickel mining in the Superior National Forest would be negative, meaning the losses to recreation and tourism would outweigh the mining jobs created.

While we're at it, let me bring your attention to H.J.Res.140. In Jan, congress introduced a way to open the protected Boundary Waters in MN to a Chilean copper mining co. If this loophole works, they can use to sell off ANY public land.

Look at this map. Anything green is on the chopping block.
This would be a fundamental and irrevocable change to the entire natural ecology of the this state.

if you have ever been to these forests you understand that they are unimaginably complex and dense places of health and beauty. please add a comment for the BLM to reconsider and revise. I have little faith in this admin, but we should try

BLM Announces Plan to Fell Oregon's Last Great Forests One billion board feet per year... 30 days to make your voice heard.

You only have a short time to comment. They are trying to destroy our forests to enrich a few logging company executives and the politicians they’ve paid off.

If you’re part of any creative groups, unions or other organisations in the uk you should be passing news like this along and spreading the world. News like this gets has the chance to be overlooked but if enough organisations kick up a fuss things can change.

It’s funny if you call PayPal or visa lines and bring this up asking why they claim β€œadult illustrations” is against their regulations but betting on the death of kids is totally fine. They don’t have an answer.

In fact yall should call them at least once a day with this :)

just became aware of this--the regime wants to clear-cut massive chunks of Oregon's old growth forests in the name of timber production.

you have until March 23rd to comment.

i know we have endless fucking things to scream at politicians about--this is an important one too.

I know this feels pointless but everyone has to call their congressional reps and say they oppose war with Iran and they oppose Trump illegally starting one without congressional approval β€” both

hey, uh, y'all *do* know that chatgpt *is* generative ai, too, right? it's not just art. gen-ai is not just stealing & scraping the internet for art, it is *also* stealing & scraping the internet for all types of written word.

you cannot be anti gen-ai and still use chatgpt. all gen-ai is harmful.
