Dear Friend of Defenders,
There is no animal, no habitat and no wilderness that is safe from the Trump administration.
The latest target of this pillaging onslaught is the Tongass National Forest in Alaska. A storybook land of glaciers, islands and forests full of wild plants and animals, this vast temperate rainforest could soon be invaded by chainsaws and bulldozers.
Where you and I see life and beauty, others see only profits.
Five species of salmon, brown and black bears, bald eagles, wolves and Sitka black-tailed deer call this forest home. Migratory birds arrive from all over the continent to nest and raise young here. Some animals, like the Prince of Wales flying squirrel, live no place else on Earth.
If we can’t stop this administration from selling out the Tongass to loggers, those animals will have nowhere else to go – and many of them could die.
Supporting landmark lawsuits we’ve filed on behalf of wolves and other imperiled animals;
Keeping scientists and advocates in the field in Alaska and across the country to defend and restore wildlife and build public support for action;
Enabling science-based advocacy in Washington, DC to keep the heat on the administration and Congress
These are dark times for the wildlife you and I love, no doubt about it. But we will get through this, if we stick together and refuse to give up.
What about you? Are you with us?
Sincerely,
 |
Jamie Rappaport Clark |
