SCIENCE / RESEARCH Wednesday, May 22, 2013 The Comprehensive
Wildlife Conservation Strategy provides a framework for
conserving 229 "species of greatest conservation need" and the
habitats upon which they depend. It is the state’s guiding
document for managing and conserving at-risk species, most of
which are not hunted, trapped, or fished. An integrated approach
to implementing this strategy across all Fish and Game programs
will reduce potential listings under the Endangered Species Act.
