Appeal Targets U.S. Wildlife Agency’s Refusal to Consider California Condor’s Significance to Tribal Groups in Approving Luxury Resort
LOS ANGELES Conservation and tribal groups today appealed a recent court ruling that the California condor doesn’t qualify as a traditional Native American cultural property under federal law.
The federal court concluded in December that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service did not violate the National Historic Preservation Act when it approved an 8,817-acre luxury resort and golf course on critical habitat for the California condor.

The organization tasked with removing four dams on the Klamath River has contracted with Resource Environmental Solutions to spearhead habitat restoration work.
The Bellaire, Texas firm will be the lead restoration contractor for the project led by the Klamath River Renewal Corporation. RES will be able to comply with state and federal permitting requirements, according to a Friday news release from Business Wire.
Business Wire’s parent company, Berkshire Hathaway, also owns PacifiCorp, whose long-term license to operate the dams as a hydroelectric project expired in 2006.
