Lawsuit Launched to Reverse Trump Administration Denial of Endangered Species Protection to West Coast Fishers
Rare Forest Carnivores Are Threatened by Logging, Fire, Poisoning
PORTLAND,
Ore. Conservation groups filed a formal notice today of their intent to sue the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service over its denial of Endangered Species Act protection to the majority of fishers on the West Coast.
Relatives of minks and otters, West Coast fishers once roamed forests from British Columbia to Southern California. Fishers throughout the West Coast range continue to face threats from intense logging, increased fire related to climate change and the use of toxic rodenticides by marijuana growers, which has caused a decline in their populations.

Would you be surprised to learn that Dorsetâs sole Civil War sharpshooter was actually from East Dorset?
Harvey Brophy was a resident of East Dorset when he enlisted in the Grand Army of the Potomac in December 1861. He was born into a farming family, the son of Patrick Brophy, who had immigrated here from Ireland.
It was through the service in the Civil War by young men like Harvey that the Irish came to be seen as âone of usâ Americans, and less as immigrant newcomers.
Almost everybody called themselves a farmer in our pre-Civil War history. Even Ira Cochran, the wealthiest man in all of Dorset, labeled himself âfarmerâ on the US Census worksheets.

WASHINGTON The Interior Department said it will eliminate from federal protection more than 3 million acres in California, Oregon and Washington vital to the northern spotted owl, a species considered endangered under federal law.
In a draft rule published Wednesday as much of the nation was glued to impeachment proceedings, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, a division of Interior, said it was excluding about 3.5 million acres of “critical habitat” established for the owls. Environmental groups warned that the move could spell the extinction of the species and immediately threatened lawsuits to block the action.
