I'd go to a timber sale before it was cut and walk around, then I'd go back and see what happened to the beautiful forest, and it was completely trashed. All the big trees were cut and the ground was ripped up by tractors. It looked like a war zone.

When logging was reduced in the Pacific Northwest to protect the spotted owl, it shifted timber harvesting over to goshawk habitat. If we protect the goshawk as much as the spotted owl, there will be nowhere left for the timber industry to go. That is why they see the goshawk as a final battleground.
