Catastrophic wildfires, worsened by climate change and historical forest management practices could suddenly wipe out any remaining California Spotted Owls. Spotted Owl populations in many parts of their range shrank by at least 65 percent in just 40 years. Devastatingly, in some areas where these owls used to number in the hundreds, researchers could find only a single bird, if any.
That’s why we’re pushing for reduced emissions, greener energy, and more resilient landscapes to help reduce the threat of wildfires and minimize wildfire risk in the future. In fact, we advocated for the passage of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the Inflation Reduction Act that together will allocate billions of dollars for addressing the risks and impacts of wildfires. |
