John,
Alexander Archipelago wolves are only found in the old-growth forests of southeastern Alaska and they are already losing too much critically important habitat in the Tongass National Forest to logging.
Tell Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue to keep vital Roadless Rule protections in place so that these wolves and other wildlife that depend on the Tongass won't be threatened.
The Alexander Archipelago wolves make their dens at the bases of ancient trees and use the protection they provide to raise their pups in relative safety. Their main food source, the Sitka black-tailed deer, also depends on the Tongass for food and shelter during harsh Alaskan winters.
Now the U.S. Forest Service wants to throw out national Roadless Rule protections on 9.3 million acres of the Tongass. Eliminating these protections would allow roads to crisscross this pristine habitat and the old-growth forest to be cut down.
With fewer than 1,000 of these rare wolves left, we must speak up and tell the administration to abandon this dangerous plan.
John, if the Roadless Rule is removed from America's largest forest, it will open the door to rolling back protections in all of our forests. Please don't let this happen.
Thank you for lending your voice today for wildlife and the lands they call home.
