Spotted Owl

Website/URL: http://wildernesscommittee.org/what_we_do/safeguarding_wildlife/spotted_owl

Summary: This owl is only found is southwestern corner of British Columbia. The bird depends on old-growth forest to roost, nest and forage. Because of continuous logging in the ancient forests of southwestern British Columbia scientist figured that just 8 sets of owls are left. In history of the owls in Canada use to be 500 sets. Now because of this the Wilderness Committee is asking for a number one things which are:
1. The recovery of the spotted owls to 250 birds as recommended by the Spotted Owl Recovery Team.
2. The protection of all occupied and unoccupied intact Spotted Owl habitat.
3. The recovery of fragmented Spotted Owl habitat.
4. A total of enough protected habitat to accommodate 250 Spotted Owls.

Opinion: In my opinion the spotted owl is one of the most prettiest birds there is. To be killing birds are one thing but to be ruining their homes and habitats is another. People don’t want to be killing owls and birds are the ones that could be damaging their home which is the same thing. Something should really be done about this and done quick.
