CWCS Required Elements |
| |
Congress
identified eight required elements to be addressed
in each State's CWCS:
1
2 |
 Information
on the distribution and abundance of
species of wildlife, including low and
declining populations as the State fish
and wildlife agency deems appropriate,
that are indicative of the diversity
and health of the State's wildlife;
and,
Descriptions of locations and relative
condition of key habitats and community
types essential to conservation of species
identified in (1); and, |
| 3 |
Descriptions
of problems which may adversely affect
species identified in (1) or their habitats,
and priority research and survey efforts
needed to identify factors which may
assist in restoration and improved conservation
of these species and habitats; and,
|
| 4 |
Descriptions
of conservation actions proposed to
conserve the identified species and
habitats and priorities for implementing
such actions; and, |
| 5 |
Proposed
plans for monitoring species identified
in (1) and their habitats, for monitoring
the effectiveness of the conservation
actions proposed in (4), and for adapting
these conservation actions to respond
appropriately to new information or
changing conditions; and, |
| 6 |
Descriptions
of procedures to review the strategy
at intervals not to exceed ten years;
and, |
| 7 |
Plans
for coordinating the development, implementation,
review, and revision of the plan with
Federal, State, and local agencies and
Indian tribes that manage significant
land and water areas within the State
or administer programs that significantly
affect the conservation of identified
species and habitats. |
| 8 |
Congress
also affirmed through this legislation
that broad public participation is an
essential element of developing and
implementing these plans, the projects
that are carried out while these plans
are developed, and the Species in Greatest
Need of Conservation that Congress has
indicated such programs and projects
are intended to emphasize. |
