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.

That's a species that could go extinct because of this.
