Ancient trees in Alaska’s Tongass rainforest could soon be destroyed by federal logging plans. The U.S. Forest Service wants to revive a massive timber sale that would clear-cut nearly 1,655 acres of old-growth habitat relied on by Alexander Archipelago wolves, Pacific salmon, Queen Charlotte goshawks, and countless other species. These forests are also a natural buffer against climate change, storing immense amounts of carbon that would be released if trees are cut. Tell the Forest Service to scrap this destructive proposal and keep these centuries-old trees standing. © 2026
