Abstract
2006/2007 Projects. With over 40 projects simultaneously occurring in one year, CNHP has the opportunity to work in all of Colorado's habitats including high and low elevations, wet and dry habitats, and all four corners of the state. Along with the varied terrain, we also work with a variety of subjects that include all major taxonomic groups and ecological communities. The common thread that ties all of these inventory, monitoring, and planning projects together is our commitment to providing quality conservation science. Throughout all of our projects we aim to answer one or more of the following questions: 1. What species and ecological communities exist in Colorado? 2. Which are at greatest risk of extinction? 3. What are their biological and ecological characteristics? 4. Where are they found? 5. What is their condition at those locations? 6. What processes or activities are sustaining or threatening them? 7. Where are the most important sites to protect? 8. What actions are needed for the protection of those sites? These basic questions are important to carrying out biodiversity conservation efforts, and are at the core of all Natural Heritage Programs. As you read through these abstracts you will see this foundation in all of our projects.
