“…For example, federal managers in Pacific Northwest forests are charged with protecting old-growth ecosystems in the zone of high wildfire occurence within the eastern range of the Northern Spotted Owl (Strix occidentalis caurina), a federally listed species that the Northwest Forest Plan (USDA and USDI, 1994) was designed to protect. Even though the Northwest Forest Plan reduced the overall rate of loss of oldgrowth forests, the amount of old growth continues to decline in the dry forests regions due to wildfire (Moeur et al, 2005). Ecological restoration and fuel reduction management activities designed to produce open, fire resilient old-growth forests, such as stand thinning and prescribed burning, are often in conflict with habitat conservation goals for Northern Spotted Owls (Spies et al, 2006).…”
