加拿大英屬哥倫比亞省內僅存23隻瀕絕斑點梟,鑑此,環保團體6日於《加拿大瀕危物種法》之授權,提出首次合法行動,立即要求聯邦政府主動保護該嚴重瀕危之鳥類,並積極妨堵其棲地再遭破壞。「山巒法律防護基金會」代表「加拿大西部荒野委員會」、「大衛鈴木基金會」、「森林倫理環境防護」等團體,向加拿大聯邦法院申請其聯合行動之司法復審。

Sierra Legal Defence Fund is representing the Western Canada Wilderness Committee, David Suzuki Foundation, ForestEthics and Environmental Defence in the application for judicial review before the Federal Court of Canada.
