Show Notes
Southeast Alaska tribes, including Kake, are fighting to preserve the Tongass National Forest, the worlds largest temperate rainforest, from Trumps plan to roll back the Roadless Area Conservation Rule. This rule, in place for over twenty-five years, has protected fifty-eight million acres of national forests. The Tongass is not just trees; its a carbon powerhouse, a salmon habitat, and a tourist draw. Logging roads would harm fish habitats, increase wildfires, and hurt rural jobs. Tribes demand equal input in reviews and co-management of key zones, emphasizing the importance of preserving the forest for future generations.
