Thursday, February 14, 2019
Wilderness Committee (WC) is formally requesting the federal Minister of Environment and Climate Change (the “Minister”) fulfill her obligation to publish an Action Plan for the northern spotted owl (Strix occidentalis caurina) (“spotted owl”) as required in the Species at Risk Act (the “Petition”). If the Minister fails to accede to this demand within an acceptable timeline, WC may file an application for judicial review with the Federal Court seeking to compel the Minister to do so (the “Lawsuit”).
This report provides an expert opinion for use in the Petition and Lawsuit.
