<br />naturally in as much of their historic range as possible. <br />Further goals of the Conservation Strategy are: <br />To maintain current areas of Colorado River cutthroat trout abundance and manage <br />other areas for increased abundance, <br />To maintain the genetic diversity of the species, and <br />To increase the distribution of Colorado River cutthroat trout where ecologically and <br />economically feasible. <br />The goals of the Conservation Strategy will be met when <br />Self-sustaining populations consisting of interconnected sub-populations from two <br />or more discrete drainages are established throughout the historic range, and <br />The total population occupies 75% of the potential habitat throughout the historic <br />range. <br />The Conservation Strategy includes three primary activities. These are <br />Protecting existing and restored' ecosystems, <br />Restoring degraded ecosystems, and <br />Planning. <br />These activities are based on cooperative plans which have been developed and approved by state <br />wildlife and federal land managment field units in each of the three states. Numbers of waters <br />targeted for each of the primary activities are presented in Table 1, and a listing of the individual <br />projects is included as Attachment C. ' Because of differing time frames for each plan, numbers of <br />projects are not comparable on a pro rata basis. Each of the local plans is included in its entirety <br />in the complete Conservation Strategy. <br />1 <br />1 <br />1 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
