Salmon in the Trees

Life in Alaska's Tongass Rain Forest

Amy Gulick

One of the rarest ecosystems on Earth, the Tongass rain forest fringes the coastal panhandle of Alaska and covers thousands of islands filled with abundance. It's a place where everything is interconnected: salmon swim upstream into the forest, feeding some of the world's highest densities of grizzlies, black bears, and bald eagles.
