Federal wildlife officials are proposing classifying one of two dwindling California spotted owl populations as endangered
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service proposed that California spotted owls that have their habitats in coastal and Southern California be protected under the Endangered Species Act.
Most California spotted owls live on land overseen by the Bureau of Land Management and the U.S. Forest Service. The Sierra Nevada population shows declines ranging from 50% to 31% percent in some areas, the agency said. Augustine said he planned to use the 60-day public comment period to push for more protections for the California spotted population in the Sierra Nevada.
