Protect Oregon's Towering, Ancient Forests
Target: Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar
Sponsored by: The Wilderness Society
Sponsored by: The Wilderness Society
The towering ancient forests of coastal and southwest Oregon are home to some 1,000 wildlife species, including imperiled species like the marbled murrelet and the northern spotted owl. These spectacular forests also encompass some of the most productive salmon habitat in the lower 48 states.
That makes it doubly disturbing that, in the latter days of the Bush Administration, these forests lost their protective status as "reserves," and could be subjected to clear cut logging.
The Obama Administration is considering whether or not to restore protections to these cherished forests. Please take a moment to urge the Obama Administration to give them the highest protections!

I can not tell you how much I believe in the necessity to preserve our trees whether they be in Oregon or Texas - they belong to the earth and it's inhabitants and not to the logging interests that rape and exploit our forests all over the planet. It must STOP.

This cannot be destroyed, because it serves as a habitat for endangered species, plus it is a wonderful area for families to enjoy and learn from.

We need to be guardians of the natural world not abusers. If we destroy its gifts today, what will remain for our children tomorrow?
