| Comment | On behalf of the undersigned conservation organizations, we are
writing to urge the California Air Resources Board (ARB) to amend
the proposed cap-and-trade rule to exclude forest clearcutting from
the carbon offset program, in order to protect forests and the
wildlife that rely on them. We implore you not to make forest
clearcutting the face of AB 32. We cannot and should not try to
clearcut our way out of climate change.
Please see attached letter.
