 objectives are to be established in conjunction with states when 

 projects on National Forests may have a significant effect on 

 sensitive species populations. 



This conservation assessment has been written to provide 

 guidance needed to better achieve the goals of U.S. Forest 

 Service sensitive species policy. Its purpose is to provide 

 background information on the biology and ecology of the Coeur 

 d'Alene salamander, recommend a monitoring strategy and 

 management guidelines, and suggest areas where research is needed 

 in order to implement more sound management practices. 



This assessment will be updated periodically as new 

 information becomes available.
