The goal of the RPCI is to conserve Colorado\u2019s most imperiled native plants &amp; their habitats through collaborative partnerships for the preservation of our natural heritage and the benefit of future generations.<\/p>\n<p>The RPCI, with support from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, has developed the Colorado Rare Plant Conservation Strategy, now <a href=\"https:\/\/cnhp.colostate.edu\/ourwork\/ecology\/\">available online<\/a>.  The Strategy is the first of its kind and represents a collective vision for plant conservation in Colorado, emphasizing a proactive approach to ensure the long-term stewardship and viability of Colorado\u2019s rarest plants. In addition to our staff&#8217;s direct efforts on this project, CNHP&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cnhp.colostate.edu\/download\/documents\/2008\/A_Biodiversity_Scorecard_for_Colorado_Oct08_PARTIAL_DRAFT.pdf\">Biodiversity Scorecard<\/a> analysis for Colorado rare plants was also used in developing the strategy.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5796\" src=\"https:\/\/cnhp.colostate.edu\/cnhpblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2018\/11\/RPCIcover.jpg\" width=\"247\" height=\"320\" alt=\"Rare Plant Conservation Initiative\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cnhp.colostate.edu\/cnhpblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2018\/11\/RPCIcover.jpg 247w, https:\/\/cnhp.colostate.edu\/cnhpblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2018\/11\/RPCIcover-232x300.jpg 232w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 247px) 100vw, 247px\" \/><br \/>\n<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Colorado\u2019s Imperiled Plants \u2013 By The Numbers Colorado has &#8211; 2,596 native plants 520 of which are tracked [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":5795,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5,7,8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3796","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-botany","category-collaborations","category-reports-and-publications","entry","override"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cnhp.colostate.edu\/cnhpblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3796","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cnhp.colostate.edu\/cnhpblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cnhp.colostate.edu\/cnhpblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnhp.colostate.edu\/cnhpblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnhp.colostate.edu\/cnhpblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3796"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/cnhp.colostate.edu\/cnhpblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3796\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnhp.colostate.edu\/cnhpblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5795"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cnhp.colostate.edu\/cnhpblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3796"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnhp.colostate.edu\/cnhpblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3796"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cnhp.colostate.edu\/cnhpblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3796"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
