Saving the Alaska Wolf and the Rainforest from habitat destruction!

Joseph Raglione
Gentle readers of this American Chronicle, when Barack Obama said change was going to be hard, he was not kidding! Some of the unjustifiable legal regulations left behind by the Bush Republican administration continue to destroy what is left of the pristine Alaska Rainforest. GreenPeace is doing its best to stop the destruction, but like most of the non-profit organizations represented within these articles, they need your help and your cash to proceed.

From Greenpeace.

Dear Joseph,

We need your support today.

The Alexander Archipelago in Southeast Alaska is a 500 mile strip of snowy peaks, fjords, forests, and thousands of islands. It also boasts one of the largest collections of intact temperate rainforests in the world. In addition to grizzly bears, wolverines, eagles, and wild salmon, these special lands are the only home of the Alexander Archipelago "Islands wolf."

Please rush Greenpeace your most generous support as we gear up for a major legal battle to protect these wolves and the pristine rainforests they call home.

The Alexander Archipelago wolf is a beautiful subspecies of the timber wolf. It is exceedingly rare, with only 700 to 1,100 individuals left in the wild. But, instead of protecting this amazing animal, the U.S. Forest Service has been ignoring science and cutting corners to increase destructive logging - by up to 500% - in its rainforest habitat.

Four major logging projects, subsidized by taxpayer dollars, are threatening the habitat of the Alexander Archipelago wolf. Greenpeace has uncovered evidence that the government has been devaluing the effects of these logging projects on Sitka black-tailed deer, one of the primary food sources for the Alexander wolf. Without deer and intact rainforest habitat, Alexander Archipelago wolves will eventually slip into extinction.


Greenpeace is not going to let the government sacrifice the Alexander Archipelago wolf´s habitat to chainsaws. We are calling out the government in court and, with your help, we will win.

We still haven't met our $75,000 goal to take on the government and win this critical legal battle for the Alexander wolf and the rainforests of southeast Alaska.

Please help Greenpeace protect the Alexander Archipelago wolf before it is too late. If we don't stand up now, some of the world's last remaining pristine habitats and the wildlife that depend on them could be lost forever

For wolves and wild rainforests,

Rolf Skar

About Joseph Raglione
Hi! I am the executive director of the World Humanitarian Peace and Ecology Movement. I began as an environmental activist in 1969 and basically, never stopped! I Graduated College in Social Science and registered as a non-profit corporation in 1988 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. I am one of a very few non-profit and generic freedom loving journalists left on Earth, and I continue today to study and to understand the problems connected with human activity on this Planet. My affiliates include: GreenPeace, the Nature Conservancy, the Bio-diversity organization, the Sierra Club, the David Suzuky foundation, the WWF, Amnesty International, World Vision, the IUF organization; as well as the wonderful and independant N.A.S.A. scientists studying our Planet's weather systems. Of course NASA also studies the mysteries of the Eternal Universe with satelite generated images and, over the years, have generously allowed me and thousands of our world scientists to study over their shoulder's via the Internet.
In spite of some past U.S. government repression, NASA continues to provide solid evidence of global warming.
NASA has provided me with pictorial evidence of Rainforest deforestation within: Jakarta, Peru, Africa, Brazil and even in Western Canada!
The motivation for such destruction continues to be (often illegally) for: lumber, for bio-fuels, and for Cattle ranching. Today, the perceived future profits for Palm Oil and for Bio-Fuels are prime motivators for environmental destruction. Small crop farming also contributes but that may be changing as farmers learn to protect the Rain-Forest.
With NASA imaging, there is proof that large city heat traps are helping global warming, and with (infrared images)there is proof that several hundred million gas burning vehicles (including ship and airplanes) presently create a hugh quantity of pollution tracks across both Oceans and Sky.
With oil, gas, Coal and Bio-Fuel heated buildings around the world creating C02 emissions, and with Methane release from all animal species...giant Ozone holes have been created and continue to exist above the North and South Poles. Ozone holes allow the Sun to radiate the Ice Caps and to accelerate the Ice melt, which releases more Methane into the atmosphere, which continues to thin out the Ozone. A vicious circle created by human need and also, unhappily, by human greed!
I have been asked to write to the Prime Minister of Japan to ask him to stop the murderous assault on endangered Whales. Every year, thousands of Whales are killed in the Antarctic with GreenPeace volunteers placing themselves between the Whales and the grenade tipped harpoons, and peope like myself, (I did not forget this is my "Bio," putting my old neck on the line attempting to change the situation by writing thousands if not millions of words!
Are words dangerous?
Over three hundred journalists were killed within the last ten years. You tell me if words are dangerous!
As I write these words, the desperate and starving in Darfur are waiting for rescue. I motivated a few kind hearted California Actors to visit the region and to report back. They did! They then created the Darfur coalition and they continue to fight to save the innocent victims trapped in tents in the desert of the Sudan. Darfuri's were attacked and moved from their homes because somebody believes there is Oil under the Sudan desert.
As I write this, a few sick and desperate people in Iraq are wrapping bombs around themselves in order to die in the name of God, and the list of humanitarian disasters continues. I also contribute information to the Reuter's news service. It is time for a change. Please help make it happen!
