The short explanation of this alert was:
As a result of an Earthjustice suit, the Forest Service is under court order to review nine million acres of pristine rain forest for its wilderness potential. On May 17, 2002, the Bush Administration issued a draft of its review, which suggested that none of the nine million unprotected roadless acres of the Tongass National Forest deserved wilderness status. This wild and pristine coastal rainforest is unique in the world but, unless protected, many roadless areas will be subjected to road building and logging. The Forest Service is accepting public comments on its draft until August 17, 2002 and will issue a final recommendation later this fall. Tell the Forest Service to protect the Tongass before we lose this irreplaceable treasure.
