Description: Recently, collaborators from the USFS, CPW, and University of Wyoming published a paper that describes a revised habitat mapping effort for Canada lynx in Colorado. The new map was built using recent GPS data on lynx in the state, contemporary analytical methods, and a host of new, updated covariate layers. The new map represents a significant reduction in mapped lynx habitat compared to older maps produced by CPW and USFS. However, we think it is the most accurate depiction yet of lynx habitat in the state, and it coincides nicely with the known distribution of lynx in Colorado. Hopefully it will serve to focus conservation efforts where they can be most effective. For management purposes, the GIS layer from the paper has been added to SDE and symbolized according to recommendations in the publication: Likely habitat includes polygons that captured 95% of withheld testing data and defines habitat that most likely supports breeding populations of Canada lynx. Core habitat includes polygons nested within Likely habitat that captured the innermost 50% of the withheld testing data, which delineates the highest quality habitat with the greatest probability of use - the best of the best. Unlikely habitat includes areas that fell outside the polygons that captured 95% of the withheld testing data and defines areas of poor habitat quality with low chance of sustained lynx occupancy. We suggest that land use comments focus on those areas that fall within the Likely or Core polygons.https://doi.org/10.1007/s10531-024-02978-8CPW updated 1/6/2025
