Giant saw blades threaten to reduce huge swaths of irreplaceable old-growth trees in America's last intact rainforest to stumps and sawdust.
The ancient, mist-shrouded Tongass National Forest in Southeast Alaska is home to black and brown bears, five different species of Pacific salmon, bald eagles, wolves, and so many more unique species.
Unfortunately, these creatures and many more are threatened by the U.S. Forest Service's current plans to sell off big swaths of old-growth trees in Tongass.
We only have until Sunday, June 30th to say "NO" – please send your message today.
Three years ago, the Obama Administration announced a goal of protecting the Tongass rainforest by making a quick transition away from destructive old-growth logging in the rainforest.
However, instead of taking concrete steps to make this wonderful goal a reality, the Forest Service is currently planning a number of large old-growth timber sales.
There are only a few days left to convince the Obama Administration and the Forest Service not to go down this road.
And we need your help to make sure they get the message about the urgent need to align the Tongass management plan with the President's 2010 goal of transitioning away from old-growth logging – before any more ancient trees fall.
There's no time to waste – the deadline for public comments on this plan is June 30th. Submit your comment now.
The wild salmon, bears, wolves, and millions of trees and other species are counting on us to save their rainforest from old-growth logging.
Thank you so much for helping to preserve this national treasure for generations to come.
Sincerely,
Kevin Curtis
