Tribal and environmental groups urge federal agencies to preserve public input and protections in forest and subsistence rulemaking.
Environmental and tribal groups have opposed proposed changes to federal forest and subsistence management processes, warning that shortened public comment periods and altered review procedures could weaken transparency, reduce public involvement, and undermine environmental protections and Indigenous rights.
Multiple organizations, including Kentucky Heartwood, the Chugach Regional Resources Commission, and a coalition of 113 environmental groups, urged federal agencies to maintain robust public engagement, citing concerns over accountability, sustainability, and tribal sovereignty.
The comments, submitted on March 21, 2026, are part of ongoing federal rulemaking processes affecting forest management, subsistence use, and data systems, with agencies reviewing public feedback before finalizing decisions.
