Colorado Parks and Wildlife shares in the success reported March 31, 2016 by the Western Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies (WAFWA), on the status of the lesser prairie chicken. This report is the second since the implementation of the Lesser Prairie-Chicken Range-wide Conservation Plan in 2014.
“The lesser prairie-chicken range-wide plan, because it’s incentive based and voluntary, is the new model for conservation and the best alternative to listing species,” said Bob Broscheid, CPW director and Colorado’s representative to the Lesser Prairie-Chicken Council.
