Check out this beautiful story map, created by Alison at @rockymountainwild, to demonstrate how the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission’s (COGCC) new regulations for oil and gas development increase protections of 12.7 million acres of wildlife habitat! https://rockymountainwild.org/cogcc_storymap

Wild Lands Post:

The new Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC) rules identify and protect habitats that are too sensitive to drill, putting an additional 5.5 million acres of habitat off-limits for the protection of our birds, fish, big game, and at-risk animal species! Check out @rockymountainwild’s full story map showing the wildlife and acres that are, as of January 15, protected by the new rules. https://rockymountainwild.org/cogcc_storymap

Bighorn Sheep Post:

Bighorn sheep are our state animal. The new Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC) rules protect almost 7,000 acres of bighorn habitat in the Purgatoire Canyon area, and 239,000 acres statewide! Check out @rockymountainwild’s full story map showing all the wildlife and acres that are, as of January 15, protected by the new rules. https://rockymountainwild.org/cogcc_storymap

Mule Deer Post:

The new Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC) rules add protection for big game migration corridors! Over 143,000 acres are protected for mule deer migration in North Park alone. Check out @rockymountainwild’s full story map showing all the wildlife and acres that are, as of January 15, protected by the new rules. https://rockymountainwild.org/cogcc_storymap

Gunnison Sage-Grouse Post:

The new Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC) rules increase the no-ground-disturbance buffers around leks (the mating grounds used annually by Gunnison sage-grouse) from 0.6 miles to 1, mile, and require consultation in other critical habitat! Check out @rockymountainwild’s full story map showing all the wildlife and acres that are, as of January 15, protected by the new rules. https://rockymountainwild.org/cogcc_storymap

Alison’s Quote Post:

“We know that the most effective way to protect wildlife and manage habitat is to base decision-making on sound science and data. The COGCC members based the new rules on data and testimony from Coloradans across the state, including experts who have studied wildlife and fish populations for decades. These maps provide a visual of the impact of that work.” – Alison Gallensky, @rockymountainwild’s GIS Director.

Megan’s Quote Post:

“Colorado’s riparian areas make up just one-percent of our landscape, but support 80% of all wildlife species at some stage in their life cycle. They serve as important travel corridors for many wildlife species. They also protect our clean water supplies and shield against floods that pose a threat to our health and safety.” – Megan Mueller, @rockymountainwild’s Wildlife Biologist.

Tehri’s Quote Post:

“The oil and gas industry and wildlife and fish populations can co-exist in Colorado. The key is preventing the impacts before they become problematic. When the industry damages critical habitat or migration corridors, the system gets out of balance, and those impacts harm our wildlife populations, local communities, and state economy.” – Tehri Parker, @rockymountainwild’s Executive Director.
