The Tongass is the largest national forest in the United States, and Donald Trump spent his entire term trying to expand development there.
He proposed rolling back the Roadless Rule that protects 58 million acres of undeveloped national forest land from logging, roadbuilding, and mining. This would’ve meant that the pristine areas of the Tongass would be opened up to loggers – jeopardizing rare old-growth forest ecosystems, clean water safeguards, and wildlife inhabitants, all while having a devastating impact on our fight to prevent climate change as The Tongass is a temperate rainforest that retains vast stores of carbon.
SEEC members like former Congresswoman and current Interior Secretary Deb Haaland fought back to hold off Donald Trump’s rollbacks, and now The Biden Administration has taken additional steps to protect the Tongass National Forest for good. Will you pitch in so that our SEEC members can keep fighting to protect our natural treasures? [[link removed]]

This month President Joe Biden’s administration has taken important steps to protect the Tongass:
*
Reversing
the
Trump-era
policy
opening
land
up
to
mining
and
logging.
*
Shoring
up
the
Roadless
Rule
by
returning
past
protections.
*
Ending
large-scale
old
growth
timber
sales
and
instead
focusing
on
forest
restoration
and
resilience.
But we can’t take these wins for granted, John. Republicans have already criticized the decision and we need to make sure we protect the SEEC members in Congress who helped protect the Tongass. Will you pitch in today? [[link removed]]
