The short explanation of this alert was:
In America's Pacific Northwest one will find ancient trees, cascading rivers, spotted owls and salmon. The forests were once plentiful but for decades were used for a single short-sighted purpose: to provide timber for lumber mills. Wildlife habitat and clean water were at risk.
In 1994 the Northwest Forest Plan was created to manage these forests using a scientifically credible and sustainable stewardship plan. The Bush Administration is now attempting to revise the Plan to undermine key wildlife protections, including habitat reserves for the northern spotted owl and other at-risk species.
Help us tell the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service that this plan should include sound research findings and proper scientific methods, with major input from recognized owl experts, to ensure that protections for rare old-growth forests - and the valuable species that live there - remain intact.
Please edit our letter below to reflect your views, then click on "Send this Message" to help us ensure that old-growth ecosystems remain undamaged under a new forest plan.
