The towering ancient forests of coastal and southwest Oregon are home to some 1,000 wildlife species, including imperiled species like the marbled murrelet and the northern spotted owl. These spectacular forests also encompass some of the most productive salmon habitat in the lower 48 states.

That makes it doubly disturbing that, in the latter days of the Bush Administration, these forests lost their protective status as "reserves," and could be subjected to clear cut logging.

The Obama Administration is considering whether or not to restore protections to these cherished forests.  Won't you take a moment to urge the Obama Administration to give them the highest protections?

Thanks for your help!

Best,
