Preserve the Tongass National Forest for Future Generations
Target: U.S. Congress
Sponsored by: Alaska Wilderness League
Sponsored by: Alaska Wilderness League
The Tongass National Forest, also known as Alaska's Inside Passage, is a national treasure: one of the few places remaining in the world where old growth forests, brown bears, whales and wild salmon still thrive.
Decades of harmful logging have taken a toll on the land, yet large areas of the Tongass remain majestic and vibrant. People from across America visit Alaska's Inside Passage to experience sights and sounds found nowhere else in the world. The last, best parts of the Tongass are worthy of protection as a legacy for current and future generations of Americans.

We need EVERY single last wild area and species that we have not destroyed yet. We lie in an ecosystem and every species, with the exception of humans, in necessary.

We must preserve the Tongass National Forest. WE need forests for the air we breathe, for the plants we need to survive, for the wetlands and water and the last remaining salmon preserves.

I realize that Science is out and corporate profits are in, but at a time when fish populations are in decline and people live off these salmon--is this really the best thing to do? There's a point where you have to put something ahead of corporate profits. You have to put Science back in to the mix. With Global Warming we need more forests not less.

If we do not stop harming nature, one day it will be gone for ever. Money is not all in life.
