Keep Roadless Areas Roadless Wildearth Guardians This study highlights the urgent need for improved road mapping techniques to support research on roadless areas as conservation targets and surrogates of functional ecosystems. Applying a 1 kilometer buffer to all roads, we present a global map of roadless areas and an assessment of their status, quality, and extent of coverage by protected areas.
Losing Roadless Areas Southern Environmental Law Center Implemented in 2001 by the u.s. forest service (usfs), the roadless rule designated nearly 60 million acres of forests and grasslands within the national forest system (nfs) as “inventoried roadless areas,” placing significant limits on the building of new roads and logging on these lands. Essential facts and resources for defending the roadless area conservation rule. statistics, talking points, and templates for effective advocacy. Because they are not fragmented by roads, these roadless areas provide habitat for many imperiled species such as california condors, grizzly bears and wolves in the yellowstone area, native salmon and trout in the pacific northwest, migratory songbirds in the appalachian hardwoods and more. For more than two decades, these places have been protected by one of the most important conservation policies in u.s. history, the roadless rule.

For more than two decades, these places have been protected by one of the most important conservation policies in u.s. history, the roadless rule. Roadless areas within the greater yellowstone and northern continental divide ecosystems provide habitat connectivity between parks and forest lands and are critical to the long term success of grizzly bears and other wildlife populations. Applying a 1 kilometer buffer to all roads, we present a global map of roadless areas and an assessment of their status, quality, and extent of coverage by protected areas. Roadless areas on our national forests are not just empty spaces on a map—they are vital sanctuaries for biodiversity, clean water, carbon storage, and human renewal. We base this advocacy on a new ecological subdiscipline: roadless ecology – the ecology of roadless areas, as a complement to the well established road ecology.
