The Bush/Cheney Administration's politically-motivated draft "recovery plan" for northern spotted owls threatens to undermine years of progress in protecting these owls and the old-growth forests they need to survive.
Urge officials at the Fish & Wildlife Service to scrap the current plan and reconvene the Northern Spotted Owl Recovery Team to develop a real recovery plan that benefits the spotted owl, not just the timber industry.
There's just a few days left to take action. The Fish & Wildlife Service will only be accepting comments on this draft recovery plan until this Friday, August 24th, so thank you for standing up for the northern spotted owl today.
We signed the “Bush/Cheney: Don't Play Politics With Our Wildlife!” petition!

You must start respecting and listening to the earth and taking the interconnectivity of all species into account. Life is not about money and greed. Whats really important is love and compassion for all.

Please listen to the American people's plea to protect these endangered owls. I am diametrically opposed to deforesting an area which would harm their habitat. Thank you for opening your heart to a group of people and birds that need you to listen now.

Please do allow accelerated and unsustainable logging on federal lands at the expense of the spotted owl and other wildlife that depend on these forests.

Leave old-growth public forests alone--they're a vital asset to our past and future and provide important habitat for wildlife and plants, many of which may become extinct without these forests.
