- Judge partially halts Oregon commercial logging project over spotted owl habitat concerns
A federal judge halted part of Oregon's 42 Divide logging project, approved by the Bureau of Land Management, due to concerns it violates a 20-year standard for protecting northern spotted owl habitat. The preliminary injunction, requested by three environmental nonprofits, pauses logging in older forest stands until a lawsuit challenging the Bureau's compliance is resolved.
