Trump Administration Won’t List Spotted Owl as Endangered
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced Thursday it will not list the California spotted owl as an endangered species.
“Through consultation with experts, reviewing site surveys and examining scientific literature, the Service determined that California spotted owls continue to inhabit their historic range, and the species is not in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range, nor is it likely to become so in the foreseeable future,” the agency said in a release issued Thursday.
