Well, let's see what they have come up with.............
Draft Available for Public Review
The Colorado Division of Wildlife is pleased to announce the release of the draft of the “Colorado Gunnison’s and White-tailed Prairie Dog Conservation Plan” for review by the public. We hope the numerous stakeholders and interested parties interested in prairie dog management will take this opportunity to review the plan.
Concern over the white-tailed and Gunnison’s prairie dogs is due predominantly to plague, and to a lesser extent, rangeland changes, historic poisoning campaigns, conversion of lands to agriculture, urban development, and recreational shooting.
The purpose of the State Conservation Plan is to:
1. Promote conservation of both species and their habitats.
2. Identify specific research needs.
3. Examine existing regulatory mechanisms and their ability to maintain viable populations.
4. Reduce the risk of factors negatively impacting populations.
5. Increase stakeholder participation in prairie dog conservation efforts.
The review and comment period for this draft ends November 3, 2008. Please provide comments to Amy Seglund, Colorado Division of Wildlife (CDOW), 2300 S. Townsend Ave., Montrose, CO 81401 or Amy.Seglund@state.co.us. Comments in an electronic format are preferred. Please make your comments as specific as possible, provide suggested rewording where feasible, and identify the topic and page number for the area of the plan pertaining to your comments.
Thank you in advance for your time in reviewing this important draft plan and providing your valued comments!
