The National Center is working with the Northwest Congressional delegation, scientists, and conservation groups to request new legislation to protect the old-growth forests that the owl, salmon, and our clean water depend upon. New legislation has become increasingly vital to the owl's continued survival, if only as a critical counterweight to the administration's interference in the scientific underpinnings of the development of a credible Northern Spotted Owl Recovery Plan.

Why is the spotted owl endangered when the other owls are not?
A bird of dense northwestern forests, the spotted owl's habitat was being slowly destroyed by unregulated logging, clear cutting the forests where the bird lived. Then, as select cutting was introduced, to avoid destroying the forests completely, a close relative, the more aggressive barred owl, began showing up in increasing numbers, displacing the spotted owl. The barred owl does well in cut over forests, and is pushing the spotted owl closer to the brink.
