That interpretation has been a crucial part of how the #EndangeredSpecies Act has protected over 1,700 species since its passage in 1973, said Hartl. It's helped preserve spawning grounds for #AtlanticSturgeon, allowing them to mate & sustain the population. It has protected old-growth #forests in the Pacific Northwest that house northern #SpottedOwls, saving them from #extinction.

Mass Firings Hurt Endangered Species

Manatees. Black-footed ferrets. Spotted owls. Endangered species across the country have just been pushed closer to extinction by Elon Musk and his tech-bro army at the so-called Department of Government Efficiency. Tell Congress to reverse these harmful staff cuts.

Commentary: It’s routine for officials to kill animals deemed invasive or destructive. For the most part, Americans accept this or look the other way. That’s changed now that the U.S. plans to shoot thousands of owls in California, Oregon and Washington. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2024/09/23/world/killing-one-species-to-save-another/ #commentary #worldnews #california #oregon #washington #animals #spottedowls #barredowls #endangered

GUARD OLD-GROWTH FORESTS FROM LOGGING

Mature and old-growth #forests are a vital part of a healthy #planet. They fight #ClimateChange by storing massive amounts of #carbon; give a home to imperiled #species like #SpottedOwls, #wolverines and #bats; help support healthy #watersheds; and withstand #wildfire better than young forests.

Sadly, most old-growth forests have been logged. We need to save what's left.
