Comment period for State Wildlife Action Plan ended on 11\/12<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\n
Colorado Parks and Wildlife\u2019s (CPW) comment period for the Colorado State Wildlife Action Plan (SWAP) remains open through November 12. Public comment is sought on the plan at this stage of its development: the draft lists of tier 1 and tier 2 \u201cspecies of greatest conservation need,\u201d which are the most vulnerable species in Colorado and their habitats. In addition, a new category has been added: \u201cspecies of greatest information need.\u201d The SWAP is an important plan that will guide CPW work on these species. The SWAP must be updated every 10 years.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Another new aspect of the Colorado SWAP is a draft listing of plant species of greatest conservation need. Invertebrates will be added after CPW, and partners discuss this fall. The final updated plan is due September 30, 2025, for submission to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The updated plan is required for a state to be eligible to receive federal funding for the state and tribal wildlife grants program. CWF had participated in the kick-off discussion in April and supplied comments during the initial opportunity in early summer. We are preparing now to offer our comments on the draft lists. Note it is also essential that the Congress pass Recovering America\u2019s Wildlife Act (RAWA) as it will provide needed funding for Colorado and the other states to boost substantially the capacity to implement their plans. CWF has worked to gain passage of RAWA since it was first introduced.<\/div>\n
