Tongass fish people place. Acf provides leadership and financial support to a coalition of conservation organizations, commercial fishermen, local businesses and local communities working together for sustainable management of the tongass national forest, the largest forest in the national forest system and one of the last remaining temperate rainforests in the world. The coalition is focused on 1) supporting a rapid transition from old-growth to young-growth timber harvest; 2) building a sustainable wood products industry in the region; 3) increasing protection for the region's salmon fisheries that sustains the economies of the region's coastal communities and 4) protecting the region's ancient rainforest.

Bristol bay fisheries & watershed protection campaign - this campaign is a significant effort of a coalition of rural villages, commercial fishermen, sport fishermen, local businesses, and conservation groups to safeguard alaska's bristol bay watershed, which sustains the largest wild salmon runs left on earth. The campaign is focusing significant efforts on addressing the potentially devastating impacts of the proposed pebble mine. If developed, the mine will be a massive, open pit gold and copper mine - the largest in north america.
