Work Plan for the Wildlife Component

Conservation Effects Assessment Project (CEAP) National Assessment

State Comprehensive Wildlife Conservation Strategies

In order to receive funds from the State Wildlife Grants program administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, each state was required to produce a Comprehensive Wildlife Conservation Strategy by October 2005.  These strategies identify priority wildlife species and habitat areas, assess threats to their survival, and identify ac­tions to conserve them over the long term.  State fish and wildlife agencies developed these strategies by engaging a broad array of partners, including other government agencies, conservation groups, private landowners, and the general public.  States are required to develop plans for monitoring species of greatest conservation need, and their habitats, to determine the effectiveness of conserva­tion actions, and for adapting these conservation actions to respond appropriately to new information and changing conditions. 

Monitoring components of these plans that have relevance to the CEAP Wildlife Component objectives will be considered and captured in outcomes where feasible.
