Wilderness Committee environmental group says Ottawa must do more to protect endangered spotted owl
An environmental group is challenging the federal government’s handling of protection for the northern spotted owl, calling an eight-month delay in deciding on an emergency order to prevent logging in the endangered owl’s habitat in British Columbia the latest “failure” in efforts to save it.
“It would fundamentally undermine the entire point of an emergency order, which is to prevent the sudden and brutal disappearance of a species,” Ecojustice lawyer Kegan Pepper-Smith told the court on Wednesday. “In other words, this is an emergency there are specifically identified threats that are imminent,” he said.
Roy also asked if there is a specific formula that Guilbeault could have used to determine what constituted a timely release of his recommendation.
