Take a Stand fur the I and By PHIL KNIGHT Native Forest Network "Last Refuge" is an urgent call to the communities of the Northern Rockies to Stand Up for the Land! The Native Forest Network (NFN) reaching out across the Northern Rockies to galvanize public resistance to development of roadless public lands in the Northern Rockies, and to bu critical public support for protection of these threatened wildlands. NO MORE ROADLESS AREA DEVELOPMENT is FN's message to t people of the Northern Rockies. Last Refuge; Last Stand for the Land campaign's hard-hitting message will complement and support on-the grou grassroots resistance to roadless area development, legal/administrative campaigns, and legislative and political efforts such as the Northern Racki Ecosystem Protection Act. Cuddy Mountain, Cove/Mallard, the Big Belt Mountains, French Creek, the North Bridgers - all are irreplaceable Nori em Rockies wildlands which have very recently felt the blade of the bulldozer. The list ~f imminently threatened areas is even longer. We must < now to protect these critical lands. The majority of the public do not want to see continued development of our last precious wildlands. We belie that a better informed public can help tum the tide towards preservation. The goal of the Last Refuge Campaign is to protect forever ALL remaining roadless public lands of the Northern Rockies. Industrial development of roadless, pristine public land is degrading and ruining some of the finest wild backcountry in the U.S. and Canac Logging, roadbuilding, mining, grazing, land swaps, oil and gas development, housing development, and many other forms of industrialization c: chewing away at the last meager parcels of undeveloped public domain. The U.S. Forest Service destroys 1.5 to 2 million acres of wilderness eve year. Government vs. Wilderness Federal land management agencies, including the US Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, the ational Pa Service, and the Canadian provincial governments, continue to plan and promote development of the last remote remnants of unprotected roadle public lands. The National Forest system in the US has been invaded by an incredible 375,00P miles of roads! Roads on public land are built taxpayer expense for resource extraction by large corporations. From 1980-1996, road construction on national forest cost $4.6 billion! Once a ro has penetrated an area, it is no longer eligible for Wildernes statu , and permanent protection is unlikely. Roads mean easier, quicker access f more humans and their destructive machinery and weapons. There are so many roads and clearcuts on our national forests, from the air the appear an immense, threadbare quilt. Roadless lands, protected and otherwise, are the last refuges for wilderness-dependent specie like the grizzly bear, woodland caribou, wolverir fisher and goshawk. These species need FORESTED wilderness, rather than the classic rocks-and-ice of many protected Wilderness areas. It ism t forests of the Rockies these imperiled wildlife pecies make their last stand. If we protect enough room for the e species to survive. we prott. countless other species of animal and plant as well! According to the US Forest Service, 58% of Americans want an end to commercial logging on public lands. Yet ma sive logging projects. UI' as the 145 miles of road and 200 clearcuts at Cove/Mallard in Idaho, or the 16 miles of new road and 2200 acres of logging at Park Lake near HelertJ.1 Montana, continue to deforest and destroy our priceless forests. The public is often unaware of development project planned for roadless land un u it is too late. The sheer number, scale and speed of development projects and the size of the region leaves people overwhelmed and helples . Nor de the federal government welcome publi c input or calls for change. A stronger and larger network of committed roadless area defenders is e sential offset the frenzy for development and to build alternatives to the destructive, boom-and-bust resource extraction cycle. The Last Refuge Campai , will helo build a network with a unified voice for orotection of our shrinkine:. irreolaceable wilderne s heritae:e.
