One week left: Our wild forests need defenders

The U.S. Forest Service is trying to roll back protections for tens of millions of acres of wild forests.1 We're facing a stark choice: Do we want our national forests to continue being protected, wild places, home to a vast range of wildlife, and a place for Americans to hike and camp? Or do we want to see 45 million acres of wild forests chopped down for timber and mining? We're determined to defend our wild forests, but we can't do it alone. Are you with us? Join our movement by making a donation today. National forests in 36 states and Puerto Rico could soon be on the chopping block, auctioned off to the highest bidder for logging and mining.2 One of those forests is the Tongass, in southeastern Alaska. Home to the incredibly rare Alexander Archipelago wolf, this Alaskan wilderness is the largest remaining intact temperate rainforest in the world. Some of the trees in the Tongass are more than 800 years old.3,4 And the Tongass is just one of the dozens of amazing national forests that could lose critical protections. Help defend wild forests. The Forest Service is only accepting public input until the end of this week -- their deadline is Friday, Sept. 19. Along with our national network, we've already rallied concerned citizens around the country to submit more than 50,000 public comments -- but we aren't taking our foot off the gas now. Help fuel our work to defend our wild forests, and the wildlife that call them home. Thank you for standing up for our forests, The Environmental Action team 1.
