The Tongass National Forest in southeastern Alaska covers the northernmost part of the Emerald Edge-an area of 100 million hectares of lush forests, rivers, islands and mountain streams that stretches from the Pacific Northwest through Alaska to British Columbia. These territories are the ancestral territory of the Tlingit, Haida and Tsimshian peoples— Alaska Native communities, who have long relied on the forest and use it for traditional practices, commercial fishing, visitor services and other cultural and economic purposes.
The resulting sustainable South-East Partnership (SSP) has successfully transformed the region's cooperation around common goals.
