The Fish and Wildlife Service announces the availability of a Draft Conservation Strategy for the southern Rocky Mountain population of the boreal toad. (Bufo boreas boreas). This population of the boreal toad is a candidate for listing under the Endangered Species Act of 1973. The Draft Conservation Strategy compliments a State recovery plan for this population of the boreal toad which the Colorado Division of Wildlife had the lead for preparing. Several agencies and organizations were involved in preparation of the recovery plan which appears as an appendix to the Draft Conservation Strategy. The Conservation Strategy was written by ad hoc members of the Boreal Toad Recovery Team and included personnel with the Biological Resources Division of the US Geological Survey, Bureau of Land Management, Colorado Division of Wildlife, National Park Service, US Fish and Wildlife Service, and the US Forest Service. Earlier drafts of the Conservation Strategy underwent peer review by three scientists. One of the scientists is an amphibian expert, Dr. Paul Bartelt, who is a professor at Waldorf College in Iowa. Another amphibian expert, Dr. David Pettus, was a former professor at Colorado State University. The third person, Dr. David Cooper, is a wetland specialist at Colorado State University. The Conservation Strategy focuses on land management practices that can be applied to reduce or eliminate threats to the boreal toad that warrant its candidate status. Full implementation of the Conservation Strategy and recovery plan represents the best approach to the long-term survival of this population of the boreal toad. The Service solicits review and comment from the public on the Draft Conservation Strategy.
