. Montana amphibian and reptile status assessment, literature review, and conservation plan. Amphibians; Reptiles; Indicators (Biology); Habitat (Ecology); Wildlife conservation. Presence and Status Ranks for Amphibians and Reptiles Within Montana Fish, Wildlife, and Parks Wildlife Regions in Montana. Montana Fish, Wildlife, and Parks' conservation and inventory tiering status, Heritage Program status ranks, and notations on species presence are listed in the table below for each of the Montana Fish, Wildlife, and Parks Regions in Montana. Montana's Comprehensive Fish and Wildlife Conservation Strategy (CFWCS) identifies fish and wildlife species that are in greatest need of conservation using a combination of criteria used in the joint Montana Fish, Wildlife, and Parks, and Montana Natural Heritage Program Species of Concern List (see above) as well as the input of a variety of biologists around the state. The significance of each conservation tier is defined as follows: Tier I: Greatest conservation need. Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks has a clear obligation to use its resources to implement conservation actions that provide direct benefit to these species, communities, and focus areas. Tier II: Moderate conservation need. Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks could use its resources to implement conservation actions that provide direct benefit to these species, communities, and focus areas. Tier III: Lower conservation need. Although important to Montana's wildlife diversity, these species, communities, and focus areas are either abundant and widespread or are believed to have adequate conservation already in place. Tier IV: Species that are non-native, incidental, or on the periphery of their range and are either expanding or very common in adjacent states. Montana's CFWCS also identifies 3 tiers of individual species and taxonomic groups that are in need of inventory work. Each species' conservation and inventory tiering status is indicated before and after a
