Salmon are not the only species under threat in the Tongass.

Southeast Alaska is home to the Alexander Archipelago wolf, a  subspecies of gray wolves. However this wolf is being blamed for low deer harvest in two specific areas: Gravina Island and the Lindenburg Peninsula. In a recent ADFG meeting, it was voted to eliminate (by trapping) wolves from these areas.  this will not happen until 2014, during regular trapping season.
