Green Diamond Resource Company Involved in Northern Spotted Owl Conservation Efforts in U.S.
Green Diamond Resource Company, a California-based forestry and timber company, is actively participating in the conservation and re-establishment of the northern spotted owl species. The company's land near Korbel, California, has been a site for observing these owls. While thousands of northern spotted owls still exist in the U.S., their population in Canada is nearly non-existent. Conservation efforts in British Columbia, Canada, include a breeding program that aims to reintroduce captive-bred owls into the wild. This program has faced challenges, with some released birds not surviving. The species' habitat spans from the Lower Mainland in Canada down through Washington state, Oregon, and northern California. The primary threats to the northern spotted owl are habitat loss due to logging and competition from barred owls.
