Biden Moves To Save America's Largest Wild Forest

First some History. Before leaving Office, Trump, the Climate Killer, stripped Protections from Millions of Acres of the Largest intact Temperate Rainforest left in the World, at Alaska's Tongass National Forest.

This blatant Giveaway to Logging Companies and other Industries is Not only an Egregious Attack on our Shared Public Lands and Alaska's Indigenous Communities, who have called the Tongass Home for Generations, but it is also an Attack on our Climate.

The Tongass's Countless Groves of Irreplaceable Old Growth Trees, Store more Carbon per Acre, than almost any other Forest on the Planet, making it an absolutely Critical Tool in the Fight against Climate Change.

The Trump Administration gutted Protections for the Tongass, last year, by Rolling Back the Roadless Rule, which Protected these Wildlands and Native Ways-of-Life, from the Ravages of Large-Scale, Industrial Logging by Prohibiting the Building of Roads and Timber Harvesting. It's largely because of the Roadless Rule, that today this 17 Million-Acre Forest is teeming with Wildlife and mostly Free of Roads and Logging.

The Forest is Home to Species like the: Alexander Archipelago Wolf, Brown and Black Bears, Salmon, and the World's Largest Breeding concentration of Bald Eagles.

But now that could All Change, with the Roadless Rule No Longer Protecting the Tongass, the Door is Open for Logging Companies to rapidly Clear-Cut these Ancient Trees to bolster their Profits and Developers to Bulldoze Roads Deep into Pristine Reserves.

But, Thanks in part to Pressure from Activists, the Biden Administration announced, it is moving to Restore Protections to Alaska's Tongass National Forest, America's Largest Wild Forest.

This is the First Step toward Saving the Tongass.

Later this Summer, they will begin the Mandatory Rule-Making Process and a Final Decision, will follow.

We'll keep Fighting In and Out of Court for the Tongass, All our Cherished Wildlands, and the Native Communities whose entire way of Life depends on these Lands, but we need your Help.
