Habitats, Issues, and Actions - Draft List

Connecticut’s State Wildlife Action Plan identifies species of greatest conservation need. These are typically native species of wildlife, fish, and plants that are rare or have been declining in abundance. The Plan also identifies the habitats these species rely on, the issues they face, and the actions people can take to help. 

Wildlife are critical components of ecosystems that provide us with clean air, fresh water, raw materials, space to enjoy nature, and other benefits. Productive ecosystems need healthy and diverse wildlife populations, and we all need healthy ecosystems for our own wellbeing. As the success of Connecticut’s Wildlife Action Plan will influence all Connecticut residents in one way or another, the Wildlife Division welcomes everyone to provide input. Thank you to everyone who provided feedback on our draft list of Habitats, Issues, and Actions for the 2025 revision of the Connecticut State Wildlife Action Plan.
