Utah Wildlife Action Plant Joint Team. 2021. Utah Wildlife Action Plan: A plan for managing native wildlife species and their habitats to help prevent listing under the Endangered Species Act. Amended April 2021. Publication number 15-14. Utah Division of Wildlife Resources. Salt Lake City, Utah
The goal of the Wildlife Action Plan is: "To manage native wildlife species and their habitats, sufficient to prevent the need for additional listings under the Endangered Species Act." The scope of work required to achieve this goal is beyond what any single organization can accomplish on its own. It will require collaborative, creative, solution-based partnerships. These partnerships will provide the mechanisms to develop jointly identified objectives and conservation actions, and the basis for investment of time and effort to pursue mutually-desired outcomes. This plan should be viewed as the framework for an inclusive discussion of what the shared priorities and methods should be, focusing on solutions as well as respecting the vital importance of credible process in creating fair, enduring, satisfying outcomes. The Wildlife Action Plan will guide partnership-driven, landscape-scale conservation work to help maintain the full array of Utah's wildlife, and also improve habitat health. The ultimate goal of reducing the number of listed wildlife species in Utah requires broad societal support.
