I hope that the Government allows the 11 tribes to have a say and manage the forests. Native communities that depend on this forest have also accumulated practical traditional knowledge that makes them qualified to manage it. Here's an article on HCN https://www.hcn.org/issues/52.10/indigenous-affairs-forests-eleven-alaska-native-tribes-offer-new-way-forward-on-managing-the-tongass

What I gained from this article is how important the Tongass Old Growth Forrest is and how it can help our major climate change problem. I think that the Trump Administration will cause further damage trying to gain temporary profit from the timber and road projects, while the constant income of hunting and fishing fees can become indefinite, the "96 percent of commenters testified they wanted to keep the Roadless Rule in place" should be listened to, that is way more than half of the publics opinion. This is related to our class module in regards to the preservation of natural gems of earth that can help prevent biological disasters in the long run. 10/4/2020 02:30:14 pm
It's very sad to see some of the people of Alaska and Trump's administration wanting to cut through the amazing Tongass National Forest just for them to make a profit. The main reason why Alaskan residents want to keep the Roadless Rule in place because not only does it effect wildlife, the Tongass National Forest is the world's biggest rain forest and helps offset climate change. I'm with the 96% who voted to keep the Roadless Rule in place because it would be terrible for this world and nature if the forest got cut down.

Eleven indigenous tribes would like to have some say in this Those local tribes probably have at least as much invested as a logging company which will come in, take the trees, then leave. Thanks for the link, Dr. Michel. Comments are closed.
