Award-winning free-lance science journalist Nicola Jones , most noted for her work on climate change and environmental issues, ventured into the book world with a picture book on the wildlife rehabilitation efforts for one of North America’s most endangered bird species, the Northern Spotted Owl.
The Northern Spotted Owl is a “ threatened ” species under the U.S. EndangeredSpecies Act and it was famously the subject of extensive and protracted litigation in the late 1980s and early 1990s, mostly relating to forestry management plans in the Pacific Northwest. A sample of this process is here.)
I like this opinion piece from the Christian Science Monitor which calls for an "EndangeredSpecies Hour." It's in response to the pathetic CITES conference which basically screwed marine animal protection. But jobs that depend on harvesting endangeredspecies will quickly disappear if those species are not protected.
Later on — after seven years at most, in the case of the Black-backed Woodpecker — these first responders are gone and the holes in the snags serve as nesting cavities for martens, and squirrels and Mountain Bluebirds and Flammulated Owls. Conservation black-backed woodpecker endangeredspecies fire olive-sided flycatcher'

Even in protected areas of north-east India, prey densities are very low. The Guardian recently published the latest population analysis by the IUCN’s Dhole Working Group that has revealed that the area of occupancy of this species has significantly declined – close to 50% since the previous assessment in 2008!
Soon we were out of the protected harbour and into choppier waters, and here I have to say I suffered for about two hours from the dreaded affliction known as sea-sickness. White-faced Storm-petrel ( Pelagodroma marina ) The trip set out from the Northland town of Warkworth (around an hour north of Auckland) bright and early at 8.
Horned Guans have disappeared from some of their former locations, while the majority of the remaining habitat, whether protected or not, is subject to logging, agricultural conversion, hunting, climate change, and other pressures.
Taking the above-mentioned factors into consideration and whether the bird had a unique appearance or behaviors, here they are, a suggested top 25 target species list for Costa Rica: Great Curassow. Thanks to better protection from hunting, this fancy bird is tame and easy to see at many sites in Costa Rica. Buff-fronted Quail-Dove.

Several endangeredspecies are (or have been) highly dependent on specific tracts of federal land. Spotted Owls depend on old growth forests, largely in national forests and parks in the Pacific Northwest. Thus, legal protections for endangeredspecies and conservation generally are at their zenith on federal lands.
What could motivate gunmen (I cannot call them hunters) in two states to deliberately kill North America’s tallest and most critically endangered bird? It may be as sick as deliberately targeting an endangeredspecies for death. In the only state in the Central Flyway that protects cranes from hunting.
