Colorado's comprehensive wildlife conservation strategy (CWCS) has assembled for the first time a catalog on the status of our knowledge about native wildlife, most of which are not commonly hunted or fished, the threats to the habitats upon which they depend, and an articulation of strategies that can be employed to lessen those threats. This CWCS reflects the data that currently exist for Colorado species and their habitats, the collective judgment of many of Colorado's scientists, and also reflects the interests and concerns of citizens with a stake in Colorado wildlife conservation.
