About
BIOREGIONAL TEMPERATE RAINFOREST ADVOCACY & COALITION OUR EXPLORATIONS IN 2018 TOOK US INTO THE HEART OF THE TONGASS NATIONAL FOREST, IN THE NORTHERN REACHES OF CASCADIA. WE WENT TO SOUTH-EASTERN ALASKA, TO STAND WITH THE WORLD'S LARGEST INTACT TEMPERATE RAINFOREST, WITH TREES MORE THAN 1,000 YEARS OLD, AND WITH THE FIRST NATIONS AND LOCAL ALASKANS AT THE FOREFRONT OF THE STRUGGLE TO PROTECT THIS VAST WEB OF ROCK, ICE AND FOREST HABITATS. THE TONGASS NATIONAL FOREST IS ONE OF THE LAST REMAINING INTACT ECOSYSTEMS IN THE WORLD, SHELTERING OLD-GROWTH TEMPERATE RAINFOREST, GLACIERS, FJORDS, AND MUSKEG THAT PROVIDE CRITICAL HABITAT FOR FIVE SPECIES OF PACIFIC SALMON, GRIZZLY BEARS, AND THE ENDEMIC ALEXANDER ARCHIPELAGO WOLF. PROTECTING THE TONGASS IS A NATIONAL ISSUE, NOT ONLY DUE TO THE REGION'S UNPARALLELED ECOLOGICAL AND CARBON-HARBORING SIGNIFICANCE, BUT ALSO BECAUSE NATIONAL POLICY CHANGES THREATEN TO UNRAVEL ITS IRREPLACEABLE LIVING FABRIC. FURTHERING THE CONNECTIONS FORGED WITH A COALITION OF WOMEN FROM THE HAIDA AND TLINGIT NATIONS, THE WOMEN'S EARTH AND CLIMATE ACTION NETWORK (WECAN) INTERNATIONAL, AND EARTHJUSTICE IN 2016, THE FOR THE WILD TEAM RETURNED TO SOUTHEAST ALASKA IN SUMMER OF 2018 TO BUILD STRONGER RELATIONSHIPS WITH PEOPLE LIVING AND WORKING WITHIN THE WATERS AND FORESTS OF THE TONGASS. THE TEAM RECORDED A DIVERSE ARRAY OF INTERVIEWS WHILE IMMERSED IN THE WEALTH OF KNOWLEDGE RESIDING IN THE GRASSROOTS COMMUNITIES AND ECOSYSTEMS OF THE REGION. EYAK PRESERVATION COUNCIL, INDIGENOUS ENVIRONMENTAL NETWORK (IEN), INDIGENOUS RISING, SOUTHEAST ALASKA CONSERVATION COUNCIL (SEACC), SITKA CONSERVATION SOCIETY (SCS), AND EARTHJUSTICE ARE COLLABORATORS WITHIN THE SERIES, WHICH IS TO BE RELEASED LATER THIS YEAR. WEAVING TOGETHER STORIES FROM THE GRASSROOTS, OUR UPCOMING AUDIO SERIES WILL SERVE AS A PLATFORM FOR THE DIVERSE VOICES OF INDIGENOUS AND OTHER LOCAL SOUTHEAST ALASKANS, SHARING THE COMPLEXLY INTERWOVEN POLITICAL, CULTURAL, AND ECOLOGICAL LANDSCAPES OF THE TONGASS NATIONAL FOREST. IT WILL EXPLORE HOW THE ALASKA NATIVE CLAIMS SETTLEMENT ACT (ANCSA) OF 1971 CONTINUES TO INFLUENCE THE WAYS IN WHICH INDIGENOUS PEOPLES ARE ABLE TO INTERACT WITH THEIR ANCESTRAL LANDS; HOW CHANGING OCEANS AND WEATHER PATTERNS, HATCHERIES, DECLINE OF PREY SPECIES, RESOURCE EXTRACTION, AND FOREST POLITICS ARE IMPACTING PACIFIC SALMON; THE ECOLOGICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF ROADLESS AREAS; AND THE CATASTROPHIC RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH MINING DEVELOPMENT ON SALMON WATERSHEDS. IT WILL ILLUMINATE HOW ALASKAN COMMUNITIES ARE NAVIGATING INDUSTRIAL RESOURCE EXTRACTION, CLIMATE CHANGE, AND THE CONTENTIOUS POLICY SHIFTS THAT THREATEN THE OLD-GROWTH FORESTS AND THE SALMON ON WHICH THEIR LOCAL ECONOMY AND CULTURE ARE DEPENDENT. TOLD AS AN EXTINCTION MURDER MYSTERY, OUR SOON TO BE RELEASED AUDIO SERIES AIMS TO SHARE THE HISTORY AND THE FATE OF THE CATHEDRALS OF THE WILDS IN ALASKA AND THEIR INTERSECTION WITH WILD SPACES THROUGHOUT THE PACIFIC SLOPE IN A WAY THAT CAPTIVATES AUDIENCES AND URGES ACTION. THE CAMPAIGN THAT WILL ACCOMPANY OUR UPCOMING AUDIO SERIES WILL COORDINATE PUBLIC COMMENTARY INITIATIVES AND MOBILIZE LISTENERS TO TAKE ACTION. THE CAMPAIGN WILL INCLUDE THE CREATION OF A BIOREGIONAL ATLAS OF RESISTANCE AND HISTORICAL ECOLOGY. IT WILL ALSO INCLUDE THE FORMATION OF THE BIOREGIONAL TEMPERATE RAINFOREST COALITION TO DISCUSS THREATS TO THE TEMPERATE RAINFOREST THROUGH A HOLISTIC LENS, WHILE HIGHLIGHTING THE WORK OF ALLIES ACROSS THE PACIFIC WEST IN AN INTERSECTIONAL MANNER. WHEN OLD GROWTH ENDS SHOT IN 2016 AT THE FRONTLINE OF THE SLAUGHTER OF THE TONGASS NATIONAL FOREST, WHEN OLD GROWTH ENDS TELLS A LOVE STORY THROUGH THE EYES OF THE SALMON, THE OLD-GROWTH FORESTS, AND GROUP OF WOMEN WITH AN AFFINITY FOR WILD PLACES. THE FILM ILLUMINATES HOW THE FAILING TIMBER INDUSTRY AND ITS GOVERNMENT ENABLERS HAVE RUPTURED THE HEART OF THE TONGASS, LEAVING THE LAST REMAINING OLD-GROWTH TEMPERATE RAINFOREST IN THE NATION VULNERABLE TO COMPLETE UNRAVELING. THE MESSAGE, SPOKEN IN WHISPERS WITH DEAFENING OVERTONES, BECKONS US ALL TO MOBILIZE AGAINST OLD-GROWTH LOGGING IN ALASKA AND BEYOND. THE FILM AND CAMPAIGN, BASED ON THE TENETS OF DEEP ECOLOGY AND BIOPHILIA, PROPOSES THAT THE DEFENSE AND PRESERVATION OF WILDLIFE HABITAT AND THE WORLD'S GREAT CARBON SINKS IS OUR PRIMARY TASK IN THE NEW MILLENNIUM. THE FILM PREMIERED AT SOUTH BY SOUTHWEST (SXSW) IN MARCH 2018 AND HAS SINCE BEEN SHOWN AT DEAR EARTH, THE PORTLAND ECO-FILM FESTIVAL AND WILD & SCENIC FILM FESTIVAL.
