The Act to Save America's Forests

Read about the Act to Save America's Forests, the largest, comprehensive nationwide forest protection and restoration legislation in history, based on the science of Conservation Biology. The Act would stop logging in America's own threatened rainforests in the Pacific Northwest, where the endangered spotted owl lives. It would stop clearcutting throughout our entire national forest system. It would protect all our last remaining Ancient Forests, old growth, roadless forests and "special" forests, and would protect and restore the native biodiversity in our national forests. Help save the U.S rainforest. Help save forests and endangered species. Learn more and Act!
