Timber industry attempt to open lands to logging fails, but designation still neglects critical marine areas, old-growth forests on state, private lands
Attorney Kristen Boyles has spent most of her career using the Endangered Species Act to protect species like the murrelet, salmon, and another ancient forest denizen, the northern spotted owl.
D.C. district court rejects both a proposal to eliminate critical habitat protections as well as a direct challenge to the murrelet’s protections under the Endangered Species Act.
Earthjustice defended the marbled murrelet in the Pacific Northwest from a proposal to delist the seabird as a threatened species and open up its old-growth-forest nesting habitat to development.
A federal court rejected a timber industry attempt to emove Endangered Species Act protections that have been in place since 1992.
