announced plans to issue a final Alaska-specific Roadless Rule, eliminating roadless protections for the Tongass National Forest and opening millions of acres of irreplaceable old-growth temperate rainforest to clearcut logging. Alaska state officials and congressional delegation are attempting to force a revival of large-scale clearcutting to resurrect an industry that supports less than one percent of the region’s economy. Thanks to widespread in-state and national support, the Biden administration re-instated the Roadless Rule in the Tongass, protecting this crucial landscape for generations to come. </p> <p>However, the Roadless Rule only covers 9.4 million acres, so the remaining old growth and mature forests in the Tongass outside roadless areas remain under threat. These mature and old-growth trees provide invaluable habitat, cultural resources, and climate mitigation through carbon removal and storage. We look forward to working with our partners in Southeast Alaska and around the country as we work to make durable, holistic protections a reality for the Tongass, and support the ongoing work of the Southeast Alaska Sustainability Strategy (SASS).</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="fl-module fl-module-rich-text fl-node-5f932a7fe50da" data-node="5f932a7fe50da"> <div class="fl-module-content fl-node-content"> <div class="fl-rich-text"> <h3><span style="color: #2893ac;">LEARN MORE ABOUT THE ROADLESS RULE:</span></h3> <p><center><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Cjv2Y6d2l8E" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></center> </p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="fl-row fl-row-full-width fl-row-bg-photo fl-node-5d2664ff021cc fl-row-full-height fl-row-align-center fl-row-bg-overlay" data-node="5d2664ff021cc"> <div class="fl-row-content-wrap"> <div class="fl-row-content fl-row-fixed-width fl-node-content"> <div class="fl-col-group fl-node-5d2664ff021cd" data-node="5d2664ff021cd"> <div class="fl-col fl-node-5d2664ff021ce fl-col-bg-color fl-col-small" data-node="5d2664ff021ce"> <div class="fl-col-content fl-node-content"><div class="fl-module fl-module-callout fl-node-5d2664ff021d0" data-node="5d2664ff021d0"> <div class="fl-module-content fl-node-content"> <div class="fl-callout fl-callout-has-photo fl-callout-photo-above-title"> <div class="fl-callout-content"> <h3 class="fl-callout-title"><span class="fl-callout-title-text">PEOPLE AND THE TONGASS</span></h3><div class="fl-callout-text-wrap"><div class="fl-callout-text"><p>Alaska Native peoples have continuously inhabited Southeast Alaska and the Tongass for thousands of years, relying on the bounty of salmon, deer, and moose for food. The first nations include the Tlingit, Haida and Tsimshian, and the forest itself is named for the Tlingit people who inhabited the southernmost areas of Southeast Alaska near what is now the city of Ketchikan. Dependence on the land is still a way of life here, a cultural tradition as well as a necessity, made possible by the abundance of fish and wildlife in the region.</p> <p>Today, the Tongass is home to approximately 70,000 people spread among 32 communities, including approximately 32,000 in the state capital of Juneau. The region is often referred to as the “Inside Passage” or the gateway to Alaska, and is defined by its primary industries with commercial fishing, tourism and recreation jobs among the fastest growing job sectors in Southeast Alaska. These industries pump approximately $1 billion apiece into Southeast Alaska’s economy annually.</p> <p><span style="font-size: 12px;">Photo credit: Daniel Dietrich/DanielDietrichPhotography.com</span></p> </div></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="fl-col fl-node-5d2664ff021cf fl-col-bg-color fl-col-small" data-node="5d2664ff021cf"> <div class="fl-col-content fl-node-content"><div class="fl-module fl-module-photo fl-node-5d2664ff021d1" data-node="5d2664ff021d1"> <div class="fl-module-content fl-node-content"> <div class="fl-photo fl-photo-align-center" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/ImageObject"> <div class="fl-photo-content fl-photo-img-png"> <img decoding="async" class="fl-photo-img" src="https://alaskawild.org/wp-content/plugins/bb-plugin/img/pixel.png" alt="" itemprop="image" /> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="fl-row fl-row-fixed-width fl-row-bg-none fl-node-5fca518a3950b fl-row-default-height fl-row-align-center" data-node="5fca518a3950b"> <div class="fl-row-content-wrap"> <div class="fl-row-content fl-row-fixed-width fl-node-content"> <div class="fl-col-group fl-node-5fca518a4f55b" data-node="5fca518a4f55b"> <div class="fl-col fl-node-5fca518a4f5ea fl-col-bg-color" data-node="5fca518a4f5ea"> <div class="fl-col-content fl-node-content"><div class="fl-module fl-module-heading fl-node-5fca51837daaf" data-node="5fca51837daaf"> <div class="fl-module-content fl-node-content"> <h2 class="fl-heading"> <span class="fl-heading-text"></span> </h2> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="fl-row fl-row-full-width fl-row-bg-photo fl-node-5d2664ff021d2 fl-row-full-height fl-row-align-center fl-row-bg-overlay" data-node="5d2664ff021d2"> <div class="fl-row-content-wrap"> <div class="fl-row-content fl-row-fixed-width fl-node-content"> <div class="fl-col-group fl-node-5d2664ff021d3" data-node="5d2664ff021d3"> <div class="fl-col fl-node-5d2664ff021d4 fl-col-bg-color fl-col-small" data-node="5d2664ff021d4"> <div class="fl-col-content fl-node-content"></div> </div> <div class="fl-col fl-node-5d2664ff021d5 fl-col-bg-color fl-col-small" data-node="5d2664ff021d5"> <div class="fl-col-content fl-node-content"><div class="fl-module fl-module-callout fl-node-5d2664ff021d6" data-node="5d2664ff021d6"> <div class="fl-module-content fl-node-content"> <div class="fl-callout fl-callout-has-photo fl-callout-photo-above-title"> <div class="fl-callout-content"> <h3 class="fl-callout-title"><span class="fl-callout-title-text">FEATURED WILDLIFE: BROWN BEAR</span></h3><div class="fl-callout-text-wrap"><div class="fl-callout-text"><p><strong>Average life span:</strong> 25 years in the wild</p> <p><strong>Height (four legs):</strong> 3.5 feet (Alaska Kodiak up to 5 feet)</p> <p><strong>Height (two legs):</strong> 6-7 feet (Alaska Kodiak up to 10 feet)</p> <p><strong>Weight:</strong> 300-850 lbs. males, 200-450 lbs. females; Alaska Kodiak bears can weigh more than 1,000 lbs.</p> <p><strong>Brown Bear versus Grizzly Bear:</strong> So which term is correct? The slightly confusing answer is: all grizzlies are brown bears, but not all brown bears are grizzlies. Even though grizzlies are considered to be a subspecies of brown bear, the difference between a grizzly bear and a brown bear is pretty arbitrary. In North America, brown bears are often considered to be bears with access to coastal food resources like salmon. Grizzly bears live further inland and typically do not have access to such food resources.</p> <p><strong>Product of Alaska:</strong> Brown bears are more numerous in the state of Alaska than anywhere else in America. There are an estimated 30,000 bears there, about 95% of the entire population in the United States. Kootznoowoo Wilderness, located on Admiralty Island in the Tongass National Forest, gets its name from the Indigenous people of southeast Alaska, the Tlingit. Kootznoowoo means “Bear Fort” or “Fortress of the Bears,” and its forests contain the highest concentration of brown bears in the world.</p> <p><span style="font-size: 12px;">Photo Credit: USFS</span></p> </div></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </article>  </div> </div> </div> </div> <footer class="fl-page-footer-wrap" itemscope="itemscope" itemtype="https://schema.org/WPFooter" role="contentinfo"> <div class="fl-page-footer-widgets"> <div class="fl-page-footer-widgets-container container"> <div class="fl-page-footer-widgets-row row"> <div class="col-md-12 col-lg-12 fl-page-footer-widget-col fl-page-footer-widget-col-1"><aside id="block-7" class="fl-widget widget_block widget_search"><form role="search" method="get" action="https://alaskawild.org/" class="wp-block-search__button-outside wp-block-search__text-button wp-block-search" ><label class="wp-block-search__label" for="wp-block-search__input-1" >Search</label><div class="wp-block-search__inside-wrapper " ><input class="wp-block-search__input" id="wp-block-search__input-1" placeholder="Looking for something?" value="" type="search" name="s" required /><button aria-label="Search" class="wp-block-search__button wp-element-button" type="submit" >Search</button></div></form></aside></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="fl-page-footer"> <div class="fl-page-footer-container container"> <div class="fl-page-footer-row row"> <div class="col-lg-12 text-center clearfix"><div class="fl-page-footer-text fl-page-footer-text-1">© 2022 Alaska Wilderness League <br> 122 C St NW, Ste 650, Washington, DC 20001 | Tel: 202-544-5205 <br> Fax: 202-544-5197 | <a href="mailto:info@alaskawild.org" title="Information Email Address">info@alaskawild.org</a> | <a href="/privacy-policy" title="Privacy Policy">Privacy Policy</a></div></div> </div> </div> </div> </footer> </div> <script type="text/javascript"> function genesisBlocksShare( url, title, w, h ){ var left = ( window.innerWidth / 2 )-( w / 2 );
