"Logging on thousands of acres in the Pacific Northwest was halted Thursday by a federal appeals court, which upheld a requirement for comprehensive new studies to protect fish from the potentially devastating impacts of timber harvests. Forest Service officials said the ruling will block plans for logging at least 25 million to 30 million board feet in Oregon, and potentially more than 150,000 acres of federal timber land in parts of three states."
