Could logging and clear cutting make the Powerful Owl extinct?

Northern spotted owls are functionally extinct in the US

The woes of the northern spotted owl began with widespread logging last century in Oregon and California which has since wiped out swathes of old-growth forest, the bird’s natural habitat. Today, a mere 15% of the original habitat of the northern spotted owl remains, with the result that there has been a devastating drop in numbers of the species."
