Here, in addition, is the Gifford Pinchot Task Force Contact Page. Perhaps looking through these lists will find us more info that we could use to prove that ALL evidence from ALL endangered species studies is now suspect - then we could move forward with a class action lawsuit for damages. Klamath valley farmers, would this be a viable course of action?

Here's more - the original story from March 22, 2000, Canada lynx designated as threatened. Note the name of Tim Lillebo, Tim Lillebo, eastern field representative of the Portland-based Oregon Natural Resources Council, is prominently featured in the article. Klamath, are you listening?

More for your late-night perusal... an appeal of decision notice regarding the finding of NO IMPACT in the Gifford Pinchot Forest

Appellates:
Gifford Pinchot Task Force
Northwest Ecosystem Alliance
Northwest Environmental Defense Center
Northwest Ecology Center
Pacific Crest Biodiversity Project

Defendant:
Harry Cody, District Ranger
Cowlitz Valley Ranger District
Gifford Pinchot National Forest
10024 US Highway 12
Randle, WA 98377

Ranger Cody made a decision of "no impact" in timbering the Gifford Pinchot National Forest. They sued to have it reversed - look for links to activists here, people who would be willing to do anything - even go against one of their own - to prove a case.
