Following the reintroduction of the of Roadless Area Conservation Act, Alex Cohen, Government Affairs Director at Alaska Wilderness League, released the following statement: 

“We’re thrilled to see the Roadless Area Conservation Act reintroduced at a time when Alaska’s public lands are once again in the crosshairs of administrative rollbacks. This bill is a powerful move to protect our national forests—especially the Tongass National Forest—by making the Roadless Rule permanent. With Senators Maria Cantwell and Ruben Gallego leading the charge with Representatives Yassamin Ansari and Andrea Salinas in the House, this bill offers real hope for long-overdue, lasting protections for Alaska’s forests and the communities that depend on them.”
