Conservation Planning In July 2006, Idaho Governor James Risch approved the Department of Fish and Game’s “Conservation Plan for the Greater Sage-grouse in Idaho.” This document is the overarching guide for sage-grouse conservation efforts in the state. It provides a comprehensive description of the state of the species and a framework for how it should be managed, based upon threats to the bird and desirable habitat conditions. To promote more efficient and effective conservation planning, the state of Idaho has been partitioned into smaller blocks of land called sage-grouse planning areas (SGPAs). Management of sage-grouse within these SGPAs will be guided by local working groups, which are comprised of local stakeholders such as land owners, members of the public, local, state, and federal agency representatives, and various interest groups. As of 2009, there are 12 planning areas, most of which are advised by local working groups, each developing local sage-grouse conservation plans. Conservation Planning 51
