Reviews and recommendations

Recommendation:
Fundable only if response is adequate

Comment:
Fundable only if the response includes more detail concerning methods for identification of limiting factors to and for population-indexing (monitoring) of target species.Specific comments and questions.
- The proposal is well written with attention to detail and ranking of lands that might be purchased.
- This is reported to be an ongoing project, but a project by this name and number was not reviewed in the ISRP July 15, 1999, report. If this project is the same as the 1999 proposed project 20081, STOI Wildlife Land Acquisition And Enhancements, then significant progress has been made in the quality of the proposal.
- The proposal should contain designs and protocols with references for data collection in the monitoring and evaluation section. Plans should be included for electronic storage of data and metadata. Comparable methods are needed for monitoring and evaluation of this and the other projects in the Inter-Mountain Province and to evaluate progress toward meeting objectives of the sub-basin summaries.
Comment:
T8-will address in revision M2-no protected species on project area, however suitable habitat does exist and there are plans to reintroduce sharptail grouse in the future M4-potential for STOI to include additional landComment:
