YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The Trump administration is rolling back decades-old protections for nearly 60 million acres of National Forest. The rule had prevented logging, mining and road-building in designated areas across more than 40 states. The new changes would open those sites, about a third of national forest land, up for development. Geoff Bennett discussed more with Kirk Siegler of NPR.
