WILDALERT: Spotted Owls and Northwest Forests Need Your Help E action

[Omaha Steve]

In America's great Pacific Northwest you can find ancient trees, cascading rivers, spotted owls and salmon. These old-growth forests are American icons and help define the region's wildlife and people.

Today, the Bush Administration is putting these forests, spotted owls and other species at risk. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's "Draft Spotted Owl Recovery Plan" is not based on sound, independent science. The plan would decrease habitat ranges and give forest managers discretion to make further reductions.


Send a letter to the Fish and Wildlife Service now and tell them to revise the plan based on solid science: http://action.wilderness.org/campaign/spotted_owl?rk=8pzSM3K1srU2E

Since 1994, the Northwest Forest Plan has guided federal agency actions in the region's old-growth forests - setting up habitat reserves to help protect wildlife and clean water devastated by decades of timber cutting. It is irresponsible for the Bush Administration to use poor science to turn its back on these ancient trees and at-risk species.
