27 окт 1990 г. - Northern Spotted Owl Listed as a Threatened Species

Описание:

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service listed the northern spotted owl as "threatened," under the Endangered Species Act in 1990. In 1994, the Northwest Forest Plan provided protections for the spotted owl and other species inhabiting late, successional forests in Washington, Oregon, and California.

Effect on Oregon Forestry:
Due to this event, current forest management practices stress more limited harvesting in old-growth forests and suggest alternate areas for harvest which are less preferred by spotted owls.
