This publication serves as a blueprint for conservation and provides a catalog on the status of our knowledge about native wildlife and plants (most of which are not commonly hunted or fished), threats to the habitats upon which they depend, and strategies to lessen, mitigate, or manage those threats. It reflects the data that currently exist for Colorado species and their habitats and the collective judgment of many of Colorado's scientists, as well as the interests and concerns of citizens with a stake in Colorado wildlife conservation.
