99% oppose ending national forest rule. It may happen anyway

For twenty-five years, a federal rule has prevented the construction of new roads and restricted most commercial logging within the wildest areas of U.S. national forests. Despite this long-standing protection, there are indications that the rule may be ended. Current data shows that 99% of people oppose the termination of this regulation, yet the process to remove these protections from the national forests may proceed regardless of the overwhelming public opposition reported.
