On episode 121 of the Green Root Podcast (the official podcast of Eco-Integrity Alliance), Joshua Wright, Program Director of the Legacy Forest Defense Coalition, urges immediate public action to stop the “Landless” legislation that would privatize 115K acres of Alaska’s Tongass National Forest, including 80K acres of old growth forests with trees up to 1,000 years old.

Host Josh Schlossberg talks with Joshua about:

-The awe-inspiring wonders of Alaska’s temperate rainforest;

-The danger of the “Landless” legislation that would privatize ancient forests on public lands;

-The Land Less film (wlfdc.org/land-less-film) featuring Joshua and Tlingit matriarch Wanda Culp;

-The importance of contacting Congress at (202) 224-3121 to urge them to oppose Senate Bill S. 2554 / House Bill HR. 41;

-Joshua’s take on a root cause of the ecological crisis.
