  • Ignorance is bliss. Before you write to the Obama administration, do a history check of where your nice little house sits...make sure that it does not sit in a city that was clearcut of the old growth to make room for your wood houses. I lived in Southeast Alaska for four years and there are people struggling to survive up there and the Timber industry is one of the helping hands.

  • ok there is no such thing as a 30000 year old forest, trees die and fall down everyday thats life, and if you cut down an "old growth" forest you notice they are void of life compared to a new forest or second growth, the trees in "old growth" are extremely unhealthy and most are rotten, if you are against logging then don't come to Alaska , actually better yet do the world a favor and go live in the woods instead of talking about how much you love them and watch them on tv. misinformed morons!!

  • Shame on america and shame on paullyak

  • Unbelievably unnecessary. What's the music though?

  • maybe if you do a little research you'll see they are clear cutting old growth forest some trees can be 500+ years. That's not that fast. Clear cutting is the worst form of logging possible. There are other ways and they are choosing to ignore them. Building roads will give way to land erosion and transportation of invasive species. It is a National Forest, hence public land and it belongs to all American citizens not the Obama Administration.

  • How the hell could the Obama administration do this? Why he gaves green sign for this destruction? I can't believe my own eyes..

    Stop this NOW! Obama go GREEN!

  • The mindless Obots got what they deserve, the Obamanation. Obots voted for an American idol without further non main stream media research They are stupid for that, they love to be told what to think. Obama equals Bush on steroids. God save our planet.

  • people need to save earth before all

    without earth

    nothing

    may be human race does not deserve to exist

    take action

  • "Clearcutting is forever" is enviromentalist propaganda.

    Our forests are a RENEWABLE resource...

    The trees GROW back!!!!! Stonger and better.

    I live in BC, CANADA.

    I've worked in mills, tree planted, tree spaced and hele-logged.

    When managed, our forests will grow back and be around for future generations.

    Don't be fooled by palathrogy bigots who will try to convince you otherwise.

  • I went planting in Alberta and there's no way those dinky little trees compare to a 30000 year old forest!!!!

  • 30,000 year old forest...that is interesting. try 2-300 years as a life span for the average trees in the area.

  • Honestly, not to insult your intelligence, but how many years do you think it takes for a tree to grow?

  • They grow back? well, yes eventually they do. But to completely restore it to it's original state could take hundreds to thousands of years.

  • And we all know hemp could stop all of this, and pot never even killed a person yet.

  • Clearcutting is forever, and Obama and Interior Secretary Vilsack have sold us out.

  • Obama approves clear cuttin in Tongas.

  • so where's this evil socialist liberal (Obama) the RepugliKKKans are always screeching about? Same as ever -- the corporate interests are preserved with either party, to the detriment of the greater good.

  • Save Our Wild Places ~ Rochester, New York

  • Help the world and send that letter

  • For anyone watching that cares about the environment this is an easy web site to use that can have a significant impact. Please help save the Tongass!
