How does Colorado Parks and Wildlife support sustainable hunting and fishing?

Colorado Parks and Wildlife supports sustainable hunting and fishing primarily through habitat management and the creation of regulations. Habitat management involves maintaining and improving the environments in which wildlife lives, ensuring that populations remain healthy and sustainable over time. This includes activities such as habitat restoration, preservation of natural ecosystems, and monitoring wildlife populations to maintain balance.

Additionally, regulations are established to manage opportunities for hunting and fishing so that they do not exceed the capacity of the environment to support these activities. This might include setting bag limits, defining hunting seasons, or specifying the types of equipment that can be used, all of which contribute to the overall goal of sustainability. By integrating these management practices and regulations, Colorado Parks and Wildlife helps ensure that wildlife populations remain viable for future generations while allowing for responsible recreational use by the public.
