"Wildlife constitutes one of Colorado's most cherished resources; the Foundation desires to bequeath this resource to those who come after us in a better state than when we came . . . " -The Founders of the Colorado Wildlife Heritage Foundation

The Colorado Wildlife Heritage Foundation was created in 1989, as a result of the Governor’s Task Force “Wildlife 21” which recognized that our abundant and diverse wildlife makes an immense contribution to our economy and the quality of life we enjoy in Colorado. At the same time wilderness habitats face the greatest threats from development, state funds for preserving wildlife, which have historically come from hunting and fishing license fees, have declined. The Foundation was formed to raise funds to help fill the gap between available funds and wildlife needs.  Through the Colorado Wildlife Heritage Foundation, your gift joins forces with others to make a difference for wildlife.

Native born lynx reproducing the next generation -- the next step in establishing a self-sustaining population.
