Researching Wildlife
As a science-based agency, Colorado Parks and Wildlife’s staff includes over 30 research scientists who conduct applied research in Aquatic, Avian, Human Dimensions, Mammals, and Wildlife Health units. Research investigations include improving knowledge about specific management issues, developing and evaluating new management techniques and procedures, and synthesizing available information for management and policy decisions. Researchers work closely with CPW managers to identify information needs and directly assist managers and policy-makers with interpreting and incorporating results of their work (and other existing scientific information) into management programs. An internal research program provides flexibility for CPW scientists to conduct long-term and broad-scale studies to rigorously address complex information needs. CPW research scientists publish their findings in peer-reviewed scientific journals, reports, books, and other literature.
