The CED has been coordinating with CO ES and GUSG Stakeholders to identify needs for tracking implementation (and effectiveness) of recovery actions for GUSG. We propose to develop a CED-module aimed at monitoring recovery actions identified in the [draft] GUSG Recovery Plan and associated Implementation Strategy. We will engage stakeholders/partners to develop an easy-to-use system and dashboard for reporting accomplishments and assessing the progress made to meeting goals/objectives identified to recovery GUSG across their range. This funding would be focues on the dahsboard reporting feature of the module.This effort will provide a necessary tracking system that improve transparency and inform broad-scale planning, budget justification, and where resources may need to be placed to reach the aforementioned recovery targets/goals/objectives. Furthermore, courts indicated the conservation efforts conducted in the Bi-State DPS were not adequately tracked and monitoring to ensure implementation of conservation commitments made by various stakeholders and partners. In this case, the CED module would meet that need.This is a new work segment, but part of the larger CED project (so I listed as existing).
Key partners include FWS, USGS. Beneficiaries also include BLM, NRCS, FWS-PFW, USFS, CO/CPW, UT/UDWR, CO and UT Ecol. Serv. (FWS), several CO/UT counties, private landowners, NGOs, and many GUSG stakeholder/conservation partners delivering conservation on the ground or involved in planning and design of conservation delivery.
