State Wildlife Action Plan

This report is a 10-year comprehensive review and revision of the entire Idaho State Wildlife Action Plan (SWAP), the product of an expert workgroup convened by the Idaho Department of Fish and Game.

DRAFT 2023 Idaho State Wildlife Action Plan

Idaho Fish and Game has submitted its updated 2023 Idaho State Wildlife Action Plan to the US Fish and Wildlife Service for Regional Review Team review, a requirement for all state wildlife action plan comprehensive reviews and major revisions. The revised plan is a statewide plan for conserving and managing Idaho’s most at-risk fish, wildlife, and plants and their habitats. 

This plan remains a draft until officially approved by the US Fish and Wildlife Service Director. In the meantime, if your work or funding source requires that you work from an officially approved state wildlife action plan, please use the 2015 Idaho State Wildlife Action Plan available below.

The Action Plan describes key conservation targets (fish and wildlife species and their habitats), threats to those targets such as invasive weeds and wildfire, and recommended actions to address the threats.

The Plan is intended to conserve fish and wildlife by helping landowners, resource-based industries, and land management agencies choose programs and on-the-ground activities that benefit those species that need the most help. All guidance, strategies, and actions suggested in the Action Plan are voluntary and will help prevent future endangered species listings.
