There is no way the darns wouldn't jeopardize the continued <br />exisLence or these l:>pecies. Then,fore the darns should be run to <br />simulate the natural situation. <br /> <br />Some of the larr,est squawfish occur in the project area but there <br />is no reproduction ~o these indiviuuals will not be replaced when <br />they die. <br /> <br />Since there is no successful reproduction, the importance of the <br />Yampa is input into the Green River. <br /> <br />Terrestrial Wildlife - Dr. David Armstrong (CU) <br /> <br />~here are in the project area: <br />U ~pecies of amphibians <br />6 species of reptiles <br />60+ species of mammals <br />150+ species of birds <br /> <br />Their importance is: <br />economic <br />potential value to science and humanity <br />esthetic <br /> <br />~. <br /> <br />4 <br /> <br />. <br />
