A US proposal to repeal the Roadless Rule, which protects millions of acres of national forest from road construction and logging, has drawn a large wave of public comments, most of them in opposition. The deluge reflects widespread concern among environmental groups and citizens about losing protections for wild forests, and the comment period has become a flashpoint in the debate over federal land management policy.
