TAKE ACTION to protect key Asian elephant habitats and their ecosystems
TAKE ACTION!
It is time to end US old-growth logging, most of which exists in Alaskas Tongass National Forest [search]. Please urge the federal government to see the salmon and ecosystems through the dwindling old-growth trees for timber, and shift the focus from logging to an ecological protection economy in Earths largest temperate rainforest. With only 0.5% of Tongasss old-growth remaining the last areas still containing very large 300-800 year old trees it is unconscionable that the United States of America continues with proposals to log these last tiny patches. If proposals to further log Tongass last old forests advance, it further clearly illustrates the United States has zero international credibility on issues of primary forest protection, climate change, and policy to achieve global ecological sustainability.
