Protecting the Last Wild Forests The Roadless Area Conservation Rule preserves America's unspoiled wilderness, but it's under assault Overview: The Roadless Area Conservation Rule was enacted to preserve pristine wilderness and the wildlife that lives there for all generations. But it's been under attack by oil and logging companies and their supporters in the Bush administration since its passage in 2001. Large portions of American wilderness, including Alaska's Tongass National Forest, remained threatened today, even after George W. Bush has left office.
Safe at Home
Issue Paper: Every summer, images of wildfires dominate TV screens and newspaper headlines. Yet despite the effort -- and the money -- that goes into emergency response, fires destroy hundreds of homes and whole neighborhoods in the American West during wildfire season. This 2007 issue paper outlines NRDC's pilot study of fire protection in the Love Creek community in the Sierra Nevada mountains, and describes how Western communities and homeowners can protect themselves against fire threats with proven techniques known as "firewise" measures. In addition, we recommend changes to federal fire policy to prioritize community and resident safety.
