The deaths of all three spotted owls released last year represents a blow to recovery efforts, and means there's only one spotted owl still living in the wild in Canada.
Two of the last three northern spotted owls living in the Canadian wild have been found dead months after they were last seen.
Nathan Cullen, minister of water, land and resource stewardship, said the cause of the released owls' death is unknown, but could include physical injury, predation, disease or starvation.“Think probably they both starved,” he said. More 'babysitting' and more protection of old growth required, say critics The Spô'zêm First Nation has been deeply involved in efforts to recover the northern spotted owl population in Canada. But much of the periodic check-ups are still carried out by government scientists.
The recommendation to protect two swathes of land near Spuzzum Creek and Utzlius Creek come after an "imminent threat assessment" examined the impact logging had on the owl’s habitat, according to a letter from Daniel Wolfish, director general of the Canadian Wildlife Service’s regional operations directorate.
Minister 'remains confident' in rehab approach Cullen said the deaths of the two owls was “unfortunate” but that he “remained confident” in the overall approach they were taking to try to bring back the species in the wild. Hobart said the latest deaths should galvanize government to put more money toward field biologists who check in on owls raised in captivity. He also said the government bears some responsibility for allowing the logging industry to eat away at their old-growth habitat and open up space for the Barred owl, an invasive species, to encroach on the forests.
