State Ranking Criteria

The Montana State Ranking Criteria were developed by the Wildlife and Wetlands Working Group of the State Technical Advisory Committee in consideration of local input from around the state and with the review of the State Technical Advisory Committee. The criteria address ecological, economic and social considerations for each of the WHIP Focus Areas. State wildlife objectives, particularly the restoration of native habitats, are emphasized; as well as the three general habitat priorities in each WHIP Focus Area.
