Our trade negotiators are pushing a plan that would undermine the forest protections that U.S. citizens fought so hard to obtain.

There's been very little progress, and plenty of harm done.

The only check is the goodwill of the agencies.

The travesty is it's going to make things worse -- rather than better -- for recovery.

There have been some births with the offspring living past a year, so the numbers are slightly up, but it's still much lower than it should be.

We are urging our government to look before we leap into loosening regulations designed to protect our environment and U.S. jobs. Our government should insist on a full review and modification of the WTO rules to ensure protection of our forests before pushing forward with new proposals.
