🚨 BREAKING: The Trump administration is dramatically expanding the use of glyphosate-based herbicides, including Roundup, across America’s national forests. 💔
Glyphosate is used to kill native shrubs, grasses, and wildflowers after logging and wildfire so commercial conifer plantations can grow faster. While this practice is often framed as “forest management,” it can reduce biodiversity and expose wildlife, pollinators, waterways, and nearby communities to toxic chemicals.
The administration has also:
-Cut thousands of United States Forest Service jobs
-Expanded logging on public lands
-Opened more wildlife habitat to industrial development
-Supported legal protections for herbicide manufacturers
Healthy forests are more than timber. They are homes for wolves, bears, mountain lions, birds, insects, and countless other species that depend on intact ecosystems. 🐺🐻
Public lands belong to all of us: not chemical companies.
If you believe our forests should be managed for biodiversity, clean water, and wildlife, not short-term profit, speak out and support organizations fighting to protect America’s wild places. Donate for conservation, coexistence, and advocacy.🌲🐺
