Human-mediated extirpation of wildlife through logging

"Before industrial logging in south-west British Columbia, there were nearly 1,000 spotted owls in the old-growth forests. But they have vanished in recent decades, victims of habitat destruction. Activists have tried in vain to hold the government to account, alleging protected species laws have failed to prevent the extirpation of the owls."

"Efforts to revive the population have failed, with a pair of owls released from the breeding program dying within months. The lone female in the wild is also believed to have died."

“The minister is #LegallyObligated to make an #EmergencyOrder recommendation to cabinet to #protect this #iconic species - any further delay is unacceptable,” said Rachel Gutman, lawyer w/ #Ecojustice - representing #AdvocacyGroup #WildernessCommittee . “With the #logging season upon us and only one #owl remaining in the wild, the failure to immediately protect the species’ remaining habitat risks the #extirpation of the #SpottedOwl from #Canada ”
