Target Species

The Preble's meadow jumping mouse is a subspecies of jumping mouse found only in the uplands of Wyoming and Colorado. In 1998 this subspecies was listed under the Endangered species act as threatened throughout its range. Just last year (2008) it was delisted in Wyoming, in part due to the work of WYNDD. It was found that populations in WY are more widespread than previously known and threats to the species less severe than those at the time of listing.
