Idaho Roadless Talking points * Emphasize Wildlife Habitat- Roadless Wildlife
Habitat Areas should be protected for fish and wildlife, and for future
generations. * Ask for a full analysis of the 609,500 acres of the General
Forest, Rangeland, and Grassland “Management Theme”, which is proposed
for open-pit phosphate mining development. * Emphasize the importance of
roadless areas for quality recreation, clean water, and fish and wildlife
habitat * Relate the importance of roadless areas to the economic future of
the country * Idaho's undeveloped roadless areas provide the best fishing and
hunting opportunities and generate millions of dollars per year for Idaho's
economy. * Idaho's forests have an estimated $660 million backlog of needed
maintenance on over 34,000 miles of existing road. Tell them to take care of
the backlog before building new roads. * Mention personal experiences that
you've had in backcountry areas, or issues that you feel are important. *
These Roadless Wildlife Habitat Areas belong to the people of the nation.
Decisions to destroy them need to be made by the nation, not the state of
Idaho. Please make a comment and tell the EIS team that you do not want our
Roadless Wildlife Habitat Areas ruined by this short-sighted plan.
