Explain the controversy involving the spotted owl and the timber industry in the Pacific Northwest
What will be an ideal response?
A group of biologists studying the spotted owl in the Pacific Northwest forests contended that the owl needed large tracts of old growth timber to breed and raise young. In an effort to preserve the owl, logging operations were halted and many people lost their jobs. There were many debates over whether saving the owl was more important than providing jobs. It was later determined that the owls could reproduce in second growth forests.
