Say “NO” to more logging in America’s largest national forestTAKE ACTION
[[link removed]]

John,

America’s largest national forest is under attack.

The U.S. Forest Service just announced a plan to strip 9.2 million acres of the
pristine Tongass National Forest of habitat protections and allow roads and
destructive commercial logging. This ancient temperate rainforest in southeast Alaska is a crucial sanctuary
for unique wildlife, including the rare subspecies of gray wolf known as the
Alexander Archipelago wolf.

We must stop this attack on America’s largest national forest and the wildlife
that call it home. Tell the U.S. Forest Service to halt plans to destroy the Tongass National
Forest.

Genetically distinct and geographically isolated from their gray wolf cousins on
the Alaskan mainland, there may be fewer than 1,000 Alexander Archipelago wolves
left. The survival of these rare canines depends on the unspoiled old-growth
forests of the Tongass.

If we allow the remaining pristine portions of the Tongass to be carved up by
roads and cut down by logging companies, these declining wolves could disappear
forever. Will you speak out for Alaska’s rarest wolves?

I WANT TO SAVE WOLVES

Alexander Archipelago wolves have already lost critically important habitat to
logging, which is currently allowed in thousands of acres of the Tongass. They
make their dens at the bases of ancient trees and use the protection they
provide to raise their pups in relative safety. Their main food source, the
imperiled Sitka black-tailed deer, also depends on the centuries-old forests for
food and shelter during the harsh Alaskan winters.

Will you allow the U.S. Forest Service to let logging companies into the last
wild places in our largest national forest and abandon vulnerable wolves? Or will you speak up for our wolves and help us keep roadless lands in the
Tongass?

The National Roadless Rule protects 58 million acres of American forests from
destructive roads and invasive projects, including 9.2 million acres of the
Tongass. If the Forest Service succeeds in ending this protection, it would take hundreds of years for the habitat to recover— and the Alexander Archipelago wolf might never
recover at all.

If the Roadless Rule is rolled back in America’s largest national forest, the
Tongass will never be the same. And we’ll open the door to rolling back
protections on all of our nation’s forests. We only have 60 days to gather as many comments as possible to stop this
terrible plan to destroy the only home of the Alexander Archipelago wolf.

Will you be one of the 20,000 friends of wildlife that we need to protect these
vulnerable wolves and their home?

We need your help to keep the Tongass roadless. The Forest Service needs to know
how strongly people oppose opening up our largest national forest to more
logging, John.

We have a short 60-day window for public comments on their plan, and we need at
least 20,000 comments to convince officials to keep the Tongass roadless. Will
you speak up for wolves and send a message to the U.S. Forest Service right now?

Thank you for being a tireless protector of wildlife and wild places.
