Won’t the logging affect endangered species?
The biological assessment in the NTMP is seriously deficient. Sensitive species known to live in the biological assessment area (BAA) are not noted as such. The endangered Red-legged frog is known to exist in the watershed, and mitigations are proposed. The plan also notes the existence of at east three osprey nests in the assessment area. However, many species of mammals and birds that are known to inhabit the BAA are not identified, and it is unclear whether the broad variety of wildlife species in the vicinity will be adequately protected.
