Abstract:

Two subspecies of Townsend's big-eared bat, Corynorhinus townsendii townsendii and Corynorhinus townsendii pallescens, both found in Idaho, are listed as Species of Special Concern by the Idaho Department of Fish and Game (IDFG), Species of Concern (formerly Category II [C2]) by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), and Sensitive Species by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and U.S. Forest Service regions 1 and 4 (USFS). This Conservation Strategy applies to the range of C. townsendii within the state of Idaho, but can be applied to the species throughout its range in the western United States. The purpose of this strategy is to reduce the threats to the species throughout its range in Idaho. If this strategy is successful, the likelihood C. townsendii will require protection under the Endangered Species Act will be reduced. The Conservation Strategy is intended to prevent declines of C. townsendii populations in Idaho and the western U. S. and to protect the species' habitats.
