Did
you know?
Roads
already cross more than 148,700 miles in Washington State. We've got enough
roads in one state alone to circle the earth nearly 6 times!
Even
on National Forest lands in Washington State there are already over 27,700
miles of roads. That's more than enough to circle the planet!

The full extent of impacts that roads have on natural
environments are just beginning to be fully understood. As
more information comes to light, the struggle to preserve the
last remaining wild and roadless areas takes on added
urgency. This makes correct delineation and characterizing
of wild and roadless areas paramount. For over a decade,
PBI has been committed to research efforts aimed at protecting
these areas. The
following links illustrate PBI's ongoing or completed projects related
to protected and unprotected wilderness in the region. |
