Pacific giant salamander (Dicamptodon ensatus) and Ensatina spp.), frogs (e.g., tailed frog (Ascaphus truei)), fishes (e.g., chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha), bull trout (Salvelinus confluentus), and birds (e.g., northern spotted owl (Strix occidentalis caurina), northern goshawk Accipiter gentilis)) have been the focus of conservation attention in this region because of their close association with declining habitat types such as aquatic areas, seeps, talus slopes, old growth, and riparian forests.    From Wordnik.com.  [Central and Southern Cascades forests] Reference
