Western Native Trout Initiative (WNTI) proposes to collaborate with the Southern Rockies Landscape Conservation Cooperative (SRLCC) in conducting a conservation assessment of the U.S. Rio Grande Valley to determine areas appropriate for the efficient implementation of habitat-related projects and identify priority watersheds to improve ecological condition, restore natural processes, and prevent the decline of intact and healthy systems. This will be accomplished through strategic conservation planning that includes multi-species concerns, broad landscapes benefits, a data-driven approach, persistence of all priority species’ populations, and human land use. Analogous conservation assessments have been completed...

Fish sampling in a small Arizona stream.

This conservation assessment of the U.S. Rio Grande Watershed identifies target areas for the implementation of habitat-related projects and priority areas, stream segments, and watersheds to improve ecological condition, restore natural processes, and prevent the decline of intact and healthy systems. Through systematic conservation planning, this assessment addresses multi-species and multi-jurisdictional concerns; work that complements and extends analogous conservation assessments completed for much of the Desert Landscape Conservation Cooperative’s (DLCC) extent. In doing so, it provides a flexible working model into which priority taxa and habitats can be easily incorporated in the future.
