Lawsuit Seeks to Reinstate Protections on 3 4 Million Acres of Critical Northern Spotted Owl Habitat

Conservation groups in the Pacific Northwest filed a legal challenge recently to reinstate federal protections on more than 3.4 million acres of federal old-growth forests, which are essential for the survival of the threatened northern spotted owl. The lawsuit asks the court to reject a rule issued in the last days of the Trump administration that eliminated one-third of the critical habitat protections for the species. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service protected the northern spotted owl, a bird found only in the old-growth forests of the Pacific Northwest, as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act in 1990.
