  • Applying Taxonomy to Wildlife Research and Management Module Overview
    TheThe SpeciesSpecies QuestionQuestion ApplyingApplying TaxonomyTaxonomy ToTo WildlifeWildlife ResearchResearch AndAnd ManagementManagement September 1, 2006 Dear Educator, Colorado has long been committed to the conservation of all wildlife species, whether hunted, or fished, or viewed. One of the nation’s great wildlife restoration success stories—the American Peregrine Falcon—had its beginnings here in the early 1970’s. A Colorado biologist rappelled over cliffs more than 500 feet high, dangled from a thin rope and dodged swooping Peregrines to retrieve their DDT-thinned eggs. He tucked them into his vest and made all-night drives across the state for artificial incubation and hatching. Other successes, such as the restoration and recovery of prairie grouse, lynx, river otter and a number of native fishes, also have their roots in the efforts of Colorado Division of Wildlife professionals. Science-based management decisions are essential to securing species at risk, as well as conserving all the state’s wildlife species. The numbers of scientific disciplines that influence and inform wildlife management are staggering. Advances in taxonomy and molecular biology, in particular, have affected how biologists think about and identify species and subspecies. We invite you and your students to explore new developments in the frontiers of science with us as we harness innovative technologies and ideas and use them to maintain healthy, diverse and abundant wildlife. Sincerely, Bruce L. McCloskey Director Acknowledgments Funding for this project was provided by US Fish & Wildlife Service Wildlife Conservation and Restoration Program Grant No. R-11-1, Great Outdoors Colorado Trust Fund (GOCO), and the sportsmen of Colorado. The Colorado Division of Wildlife gratefully acknowledges the following individuals: For content advice and critical review: Field-test Educators (cont.): Dr.

  • Sage Grouse Taken Off Endangered List 24 April 2007
    Sage grouse taken off endangered list 24 April 2007 The rare sage-grouse is fighting for survival in Colorado, but because of a recent spurt in numbers the birds will not be listed as an endangered species. The sage-grouse live on one of the only sagebrush reservations left in Colorado, the Denver post reported Monday. "A single species becomes a symbol for a much larger issue about the degradation of land," said Jessica Young, a biology professor at Western State College in Gunnison, Colo. Even though the Gunnison grouse is considered one of the country's most endangered birds and has been a six-year candidate for federal protection, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has removed it from consideration for the endangered- species list. But the decision actually relieved ranchers as well as outraged conservationists. The conservation project being run by volunteers in the city has donated more than $11 million to preserve 17,000 acres and enhance the bird's habitat. The government also paid for aerial seeding to provide food for the grouse, mowed open heavy sage stands for the bird and closed roads during breeding and nesting seasons.
