"While nature lovers and earth scientists have been fighting Alaskan politicians over ANWR and King Cove Road for decades, Trump's mention of "logging" reopens a different front in an old war because everyone knows he's talking about Tongass, the crown jewel of the National Forest system.
Spread across the islands and fjords of the Alaskan panhandle, Tongass is roughly the size of West Virginia, full of towering old growth spruce, cedar and hemlock, some trees twice as old as America itself. It traps and hold so much carbon, it's known as "America's Amazon."
The pristine wilderness holds a bounty of salmon, bears, wolves, eagles and whales living alongside around 70,000 people."
