The group is working on proposals now to limit road use and timber sales in the Rio Grande National Forest, also in southwest Colorado. I don't know of any other place where a wilderness conservation project has stayed strong for so long. Foreman described the Wildlands Project as a forum for allowing biologists and environmentalists to join forces in protecting biodiversity. Foreman's involvement in the Wildlands Project has signaled a turning point in his strategies for environmental defense. But Foreman is now less vocal in his support of environmental sabotage.
People have to be really responsible and think about what they're doing.
But I'm not going to talk about monkeywrenching because my wife would get mad at me. But Foreman will always hold firm in the belief that activism is essential. We can save all the people on earth but unless we can save wolves, grizzly and salamander, it's not going to matter. Gordon has held to this belief in her work to defend the southern Colorado Rockies. She said right now the Wildlands Project vision is far from reality, but it is something to keep striving toward.
