Description

The Tongass National Forest, a sacred temperate rainforest revered by the Tlingit as Haa Aaní—their identity, history, and lifeline—is under threat as lawmakers consider repealing the Roadless Area Conservation Rule, a 20-year shield against logging, mining, and road-building. This isn’t just about trees; it’s about protecting ancestral lands, climate stability, and Indigenous sovereignty. The rule is seen as a promise to future generations, ensuring clean water, thriving salmon, and quiet spiritual spaces. Now’s the time to speak up and defend this last great rainforest—not for profit, but for people, culture, and the planet.
