Target: Kate Greenberg, Commissioner of the Colorado Department of Agriculture
Goal: Combat the escalating bark beetle infestations devastating Colorado’s forests.
The relentless onslaught of bark beetle infestations in Colorado’s pristine forests stands as a grave ecological crisis. These voracious pests, driven by warming temperatures and weakened trees, are wreaking havoc across the cherished landscapes. As they bore through trees with impunity, they disrupt the delicate balance of the ecosystems, causing vast swaths of forest to wither and die.
Colorado’s forests, known for their natural beauty and environmental significance, are now under severe threat. Without swift intervention, the consequences are dire. These infestations not only endanger the unique biodiversity, but also heighten the risk of catastrophic wildfires, posing a direct threat to the communities and their safety.
Sign the petition below to demand that the Colorado Department of Agriculture takes immediate, proactive steps to halt the devastation caused by bark beetle infestations and protect the future of the forests.
