Contact the US Forest Service Now!

The US Forest Service is reconsidering allowing carbon capture and storage under Kisatchie National Forest. CapturePoint Solutions' proposal threatens:

- Sacred cultural sites and ancestral lands
- Fragile species habitats (red-cockaded woodpecker, Louisiana black bear)
- Ancient earthworks, traditional cultural landscapes, and historic settlements
- Critical wildlife corridors, old-growth forests, and water sources
- Local livelihoods, tourism, and community health

Tell the US Forest Service:

- Reject CapturePoint's proposal to store up to 50 million tons of CO2.
- Prioritize protecting the forest's ecological integrity and cultural significance.
- Ensure public health and safety by rejecting permanent industrial uses.

Consequences of Carbon Capture and Storage:

  • Desecration of sacred lands and cultural sites
    - Habitat destruction and fragmentation
    - Risk of CO2 leaks harming people, wildlife, and ecosystems
    - Permanent damage to ecosystem integrity and irreversible loss of biodiversity
