Heritage Forests Campaign.
The short explanation of this alert was:
America's last great temperate rainforest -- Alaska's Tongass National Forest -- is once again under assault from the timber industry and its allies. The Bush administration has recommended that more than 9 million acres -- more than one-half of this spectacular old growth forest -- receive absolutely no protection whatsoever, opening the doors for big timber and mining interests who want to exploit this national treasure.
A New York Times editorial called the Bush administration proposal "an insult".
With more than 30 timber sales moving forward in the Tongass, we need you to take action now!
