Forest Service Plans Tongass Forest Clearcut
Take Action
Among the centuries-old towering spruce of Kuiu Island, the Tlingit people of Kake, Alaska, have traditionally relied on the forests of Kuiu Island for fishing, gathering, and hunting, particularly for Sitka black tailed deer. Other animals call Kuiu home: moose, marten, wolves, and the highest densities of black bears in North America.
But the Forest Service has systematically clearcut much of north Kuiu Island, a part of the Tongass National Forest. And every new mile of road, every newly-leveled acre further reduces habitat and magnifies the loss of this culture's traditional use of their ancestral lands. Now the Forest Service plans to clearcut even more of north Kuiu Island. Please help us block this destructive project by sending an email to the Forest Service today.
