John,
America’s precious remaining old-growth forests are being logged — and President Biden can save them with the stroke of a pen.
These ancient woodlands are not just trees — they’re irreplaceable ecosystems, home to countless endangered species. Old-growth trees absorb and store huge amounts of carbon — also making them exponentially important in the fight against climate change.
The destruction of old-growth forests is another tragic case of corporate profits trumping environmental protections. It’s another instance of corporate lobbyists capturing government policy to boost CEO bonuses and shareholder value at the expense of the rest of us.
President Biden has the sole power to protect these forests and, on President’s Day, it’s time he makes a legacy action by signing an executive order with ironclad protections for old-growth trees.
Add your name: Urge President Biden to use his power to protect vitally important old-growth forests.
The redwoods of California, the Tongass National Forest in Alaska, Chattahoochee National Forest in South Carolina and Georgia, and the mountainous Adirondack forests in New York are all examples of beautiful, irreplaceable old-growth forests.
The destruction of old-growth forests is not just an environmental issue. Indigenous communities have centuries-old connections to many old-growth forests and are reliant on sustainable use of its resources for traditional practices.
The sad fact is, 95% of old-growth forests have already been destroyed by the logging industry. It makes it even more important that President Biden leaves no room for corporations to continue this destruction.
Sign your name now to urge President Biden to issue an executive order to protect these forests. Let’s protect and preserve these natural treasures before it's too late.
When we organize, we win.
Our Revolution
