The second in a series documenting the urgent need to protect Americas Rainforest—Alaska's Tongass National Forest—from imminent logging. Based on interviews with local residents, Voices of the Tongass reveals in powerful personal terms what is at stake in preserving this ancient forest of towering old-growth trees, glacier capped mountains, and salmon-filled streams.

Wow this video is extremely misleading, The Tongass is not going anywhere, I am a Ketchikan resident and this is not the story at all, the tongass has only been opened up to 3% for timber harvest, and because of these tree huggers 2 mills have been shutdown along with up to 10 logging companies in Ketchikan alone, all together they employed over 5000 people, there is plenty of forest to go around for everyone.

Totally horrifying. The greed of these bastards, their audacity to permanently destroy a piece of heaven on earth. My God, when is this going to stop? These bastards clear cut forest, destroy heavenly sites, speculate with their profit dollars in derrivates and then go belly up. Why? So that the mo-foking logging companies and their shareholders could live a large life of riding yachts, eating caviar and sipping champage. Obama better make good of his promise to protect the environment.

I don't understand either. Such a beautiful scene destroyed for what? I think this is a serious problem and I think it's great that the NRDC cares about this sort of thing. Hopefully we will be able to stop it.

Destruction, destruction of homes, destruction of hope, and destruction of life as we know it.
