Funding from the Species Conservation Trust Fund would leverage additional funds available from the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation and the states of Wyoming and Nebraska. Preble's Meadow Jumping Mouse Collaborative Conservation Program FY 99-00 Fu ing Summary: Trust Fund Contributions Colorado's Estimated Estimated Total Long Request From Other Share of Long Term Term Cost Sources Costs $750,000 Estimates not yet Estimates not yet available available Operating Capital $ 250,000 Preble's meadow jumping mouse (PMJM) was federally listed as a threatened species in May 1998. A range-wide collaborative conservation planning process is underway and will be completed by May 1999. This planning process will identify important PMJM habitat that requires protection. The process will provide the regulatory compliance mechanism for a full range of activities that, in the absence of the planning effort, would likely be regulated separately and directly by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Activities eligible to receive funding are drawn from the pending range-wide conservation agreement and from state activities that are consistent with the agreement. These include: • development of management agreements with landowners; • the acquisition of fee and less-than-fee interests in PMJM habitat in partnership with local governments and private property owners. Performance factors include: • partnerships with local governments and landowners leading to the protection of up to five parcels containing PMJM habitat. Funding from the fund would is expected to leverage $1 million in additional funding from Front Range local governments and private sector participants that are involved in the collaborative planning process.
