Welcome to the home page for the Rocky Mountain
Region’s Species Conservation Program.
An important part of the mission of the Forest Service is to maintain
the diversity of plant and animal species on National Forest System
lands. The Species Conservation Program provides leadership to promote
and coordinate positive actions that contribute to recovery of threatened
and endangered species, and conservation of sensitive species and
their habitats. Emphasis is given to conservation of these species
through conservation planning, habitat improvement, inventory and
monitoring, coordination with other resource programs, visitor information
and education, and other management actions.
To provide a sound scientific foundation for management, the Rocky
Mountain Region has produced species conservation assessments for
more than 200 featured plants and animals, as well as ecological
assessments for terrestrial and aquatic/riparian/wetland ecosystems.
The list of sensitive species designated by the Regional Forester
can also be found on this site.
