New analysis shows extent of overlap and highlights opportunities for responsible recreation management<\/em><\/p>\n

Denver, Colo. \u2013 Today, Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership unveiled new analysis showing that 40 percent of Colorado’s most important elk habitat is affected by trail use and proposed sensible management options to facilitate sustainable recreation and lasting conservation of Colorado’s big game animals.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis analysis is intended to facilitate conversation and provide useful information so that land managers and outdoor recreationists can more effectively conserve iconic big game species like elk while enjoying high-end recreational opportunities. quality”. said Liz Rose, the Colorado field representative for TRCP.<\/strong> \u201cOutdoor recreation is a cornerstone of Colorado’s economy and central to our state’s identity, and this is one of the reasons science-based management of our natural resources, including wildlife It’s so critical.”<\/p>\n

The analysis presented today builds on a growing body of research showing the extent to which different types of recreational trail use displace moose from otherwise suitable habitat. This information, used in conjunction with data representing motorized and non-motorized trails from the COTREX database, suggests that more than 8 million acres of Colorado’s most important elk habitat could be considered elk avoidance areas, given their response of well-documented flight to recreationists. .<\/p>\n

Displaced moose could face population declines, and this means fewer opportunities for hunters and wildlife watchers alike. You can see a summary of this analysis and maps representing its findings here, and read why this data matters to athletes here.<\/p>\n

To ensure that important habitats remain connected and usable for elk and other big game animals, the TRCP has proposed the following:<\/p>\n
