Biden Moves To Protect The Tongass, North America s Largest Rainforest, From Logging And Road Building

Biden Moves To Protect The Tongass, North America’s Largest Rainforest, From Logging And Road Building By Beverly Law 08/05/21 AT 3:25 AM Ask people to find the world’s rainforests on a globe, and most will probably point to South America. But North America has rainforests too – and like their tropical counterparts, these temperate rainforests are ecological treasures. The Biden administration recently announced new policies to protect the Tongass National Forest, the largest intact temperate rainforest in the world and the biggest U.S. national forest. It spreads over more than 26,000 square miles (67,340 square kilometers) – roughly the size of West Virginia – and covers most of southeast Alaska. The Tongass has thousands of watersheds and fjords, and more than a thousand forested islands.
