This is the ultimate tipping point. The crushing of the jewel in the crown of America's only original idea. Contact your elected representatives. Contribute to legal funds. Go there if you can. This must be stopped!

Private Earth science data providers rely on government data to validate their models. It is a revenue source for entities like NOAA, UK Met Office, etc. With Trump slashing spending, the revenue that used to come to NOAA is going elsewhere.

Loopholes, mismanagement, and government policy that force tenure holders to cut old growth.
The giant trees in these photos are not in coastal BC rainforests. They are 400km inland from the sea! They are precious and rare, yet they are still logged. It's insane.

With oil prices hovering around $60/bbl, there isn't much interest in ANWR drilling, for now.
Trump officials say Alaska is 'open for business.' So far, no one's buying.
The administration wants to drill in Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Oil companies don’t, leaving Alaska to spend millions propping up the idea.

The US has cloned breeder animals since 2009. Pressure is on countries to accept US meat from clones without labeling. They have lost track of the clones and can't tell if a cow/pig/goat was born to a clone or not, so there is no way to label it. We don't even know how many breeder clones there are.
