Today, we're going to court to protect Tongass habitat! EARTHJUSTICE, BECAUSE THE EARTH NEEDS A GOOD LAWYER 3FEB16

GREED, not need, is driving industry and governments to destroy, piece by piece, areas so beautiful and so rare, like the Tongass National Forest, that we run the risk of loosing them forever. If we allow the Tongass be destroyed forever we better make sure all the pictures are destroyed too so future generations don't see them and curse us for taking the Tongass from them.

DONATE NOW After the U.S. Forest Service approved the Big Thorne timber sale—the largest, most destructive old-growth clear-cutting project in the Tongass National Forest in decades—my team and I sprang into action. And today, we’re going to court to fight back! Will you help us win? We can’t stand by while vast swaths of the Tongass National Forest—one of the last ancient coastal rainforests—are clear-cut. And the courts are our last line of defense! Make an urgent tax-deductible gift today to help us fight in court to save Tongass habitat and the wild. If our opponents get their way, the Tongass will see more road building and extreme old-growth logging for years to come. But with you by our side, we’ll protect this crown jewel of the national forest system, home to towering stands of 700-year-old trees that provide vital habitat for bears, salmon, Sitka black-tailed deer, goshawks, and the rare and dwindling Alexander Archipelago wolf. Now more than ever, we need your help. Your gift will be put to work immediately to help us save the wild! For decades, Earthjustice has fought to protect the Tongass from clear-cut logging—and we’ve won. We defended the Roadless Rule in the region and protected wild lands throughout this magnificent forest. And today, with your gift, we’ll stand up for the Tongass—and all wild places—before it’s too late! Thank you for your help,
