Fish and Wildlife Service to list species as threatened following decades of litigation  

Breaking News! The D.C. Court of Appeals just affirmed the legality of an expansion of the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument. This is a pivotal decision that means that Western Oregon BLM lands can be managed for social and environmental values, not just timber production.

A coalition of conservation organizations filed a legal complaint challenging the Bureau of  Land Management’s (BLM) “Integrated Vegetation Management” (IVM) program that would  aggressively log forest stands located within Late Successional Reserves, areas purportedly set aside for  forest conservation.
