The Northern Spotted Owl
1995 CE - 2022 CE
"In 1990, northern spotted owls were officially declared “threatened.” Since then, their overall population has declined by 65%. Today, only a few thousand pairs of northern spotted owl survive in Pacific Northwest old growth forest. 80% of their old growth habitat is already gone but the logging continues and with it the loss of the northern spotted owl."
WHAT YOU CAN DO
Buy FSC-certified paper products and lumber. Ensure that spotted owl’s home in old-growth forests of the Pacific Northwest are conserved and protected.
