WILDLIFE CONSERVATION STRATEGY - Final

Project Summary

In July 2003, the Boise, Payette and Sawtooth National Forests issued Records of Decision for revised Forest Plans. Assessments supporting the 2003 Forest Plan revision identified more wildlife habitat areas in need of restoration for a variety of species within each planning unit than could be moved toward desired conditions by natural processes or management activities within the 10- to 15-year planning period. As a result, the 2003 Forest Plans for the all three forests identified that maintaining and restoring habitats for species of concern should be prioritized based upon the greatest risks to the persistence of certain species. To address this need, each Forest Plan included a wildlife objective, WIOB03, to prioritize wildlife habitat to be restored at a mid- or Forest-scale, using information from sources such as species habitat models and fine scale analyses. The Forest Plan Amendment, 2011 Wildlife Conservation Strategy Phase 1: Forested Biological Community is the first of four planned amendments to address wildlife objective WIOB03.
