There have been eight separate petitions to list all or part of the greater sage-grouse range with the most recent ‘non-warranted’ listing determination from the US Fish and Wildlife Service occurring in September 2015. Sage-grouse are considered an umbrella species in sagebrush habitats because conserving their populations and habitats benefits some 350 other species residing in the sagebrush ecosystem such as songbirds, small mammals, and ungulates. Sage-grouse are an indicator of healthy, functioning sagebrush steppe ecosystems. Wyoming’s private landowners are crucial for sage-grouse conservation as sagebrush in Wyoming is estimated at 24 million acres with approximately 38 percent being privately-owned. Conservation tools such as the Greater-Sage Grouse Umbrella Candidate Conservation Agreement with Assurances (CCAA) for Wyoming Ranch Management are available but not widely known. To increase the likelihood of private landowner’s success with a voluntary CCAA various outreach tools were developed. An Extension publication: Landowner Guide to Sage-Grouse Conservation in Wyoming was developed and two educational video series are in production for use by private landowners and managers. The tools developed will expand opportunities for sage-grouse conservation success in Wyoming and the west.
