FORM 990 - ORGANIZATION'S MISSION	TO CREATE AN ASSOCIATION OF CONSERVATION-MINDED LANDOWNERS WORKING COLLABORATIVELY TO PRACTICE AND PROMOTE ECOLOGICALLY AND ECONOMICALLY SOUND LAND MANAGEMENT IN THE SOUTHERN SAN JUAN MOUNTAINS OF COLORADO AND NORTHERN NEW MEXICO.
FORM 990, PAGE 1, PART I, LINE 6	THE BOARD MEMBERS SERVE ON VOLUNTEER BASIS.
FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4A	FOREST AND WATERSHED HEALTH WATERSHED-BASED PARTNERSHIPS WATER IS THE LIFEBLOOD OF THE SOUTHWEST, BUT WATERSHEDS IN THIS REGION ARE AT RISK OF CATASTROPHIC WILDFIRE. WATERSHEDS IN THE CPLA REGION SUPPLY APPROXIMATELY 75% OF ALBUQUERQUE'S DRINKING WATER AND 50% OF SANTA FE'S DRINKING WATER. THESE WATERSHEDS ALSO DELIVER PRICELESS WATER TO 10 TRIBES AND PUEBLOS, RURAL COMMUNITIES, AND MANY ACEQUIA SYSTEMS AND AGRICULTURAL PRODUCERS. A HUGE PRIORITY OF CPLA IS TO PROTECT THE QUANTITY AND QUALITY OF WATER FLOWING FROM THESE WATERSHEDS, AND WE SERVE AS THE FISCAL SPONSOR FOR THE SAN JUAN CHAMA WATERSHED PARTNERSHIP. WE ALSO PARTICIPATE IN THE SAN JUAN HEADWATERS PARTNERSHIP AND THE 2-3-2 COHESIVE STRATEGY PARTNERSHIP. THESE PARTNERSHIPS ALL ATTRACT A DIVERSE GROUP OF STAKEHOLDERS AND LAND MANAGERS, AND ARE VALUABLE FOR GETTING FOLKS TOGETHER TO DEVELOP STRATEGIES TOWARDS COMMON GOALS OF WATERSHED PROTECTION, HABITAT CONSERVATION, RURAL ECONOMIC GROWTH, AND RESTORING FOREST HEALTH IN AN ERA OF CLIMATE CHANGE. A US FOREST SERVICE INITIATIVE KNOWN AS THE COLLABORATIVE FOREST LANDSCAPE RESTORATION PROGRAM, RECENTLY RANKED THE RIO CHAMA PROJECT AREA SECOND HIGHEST IN THE NATION DUE TO THE IMPORTANCE OF THESE WATERSHEDS, RISK OF SEVERE WILDFIRE, AND DIVERSITY OF STAKEHOLDERS STRIVING FOR THE SAME GOALS. RIO GRANDE WATER FUND (WITH SUPPORT FROM THE NATURE CONSERVANCY) RIO GRANDE WATER FUND WE ARE CONTINUING A 1 MILLION INVESTMENT FROM DOWNSTREAM WATER USERS TO PROTECT WATERSHEDS FROM CATASTROPHIC WILDFIRE. IN 2022 THE RIO GRANDE WATER FUND AND PRIVATE LANDOWNER COST-SHARE FUNDED 172 ACRES OF TREATMENTS IN THE SAN JUAN-CHAMA PROJECT SOURCE WATERSHEDS IN COLLABORATION WITH TNC AND THE RIO GRANDE WATER FUND. SJCWP FOCAL AREA ATLAS WORKING WITH THE SAN JUAN CHAMA WATERSHED PARTNERSHIP, WE HAVE BEEN WORKING ON A FOCAL AREA ATLAS THAT HELPS LAND MANAGERS TO BETTER UNDERSTAND VALUES AT RISK AND OPPORTUNITIES TO ALLEVIATE THREATS IN OUR INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT WATERSHEDS AND COMMUNITIES. CALL TO ACTION: INVEST IN CRITICAL WATERSHEDS BEFORE SEVERE WILDFIRE, RATHER THAN AFTER IN 2022 WE SAW A DEVASTATING WILDFIRE SEASON WITH THE HERMITS PEAK/CALF CANYON FIRE. THIS WILDFIRE HEIGHTENED OUR SENSE OF URGENCY TO BETTER PROTECT OUR WATERSHEDS IN THE SAN JUAN-CHAMA REGION. USING NEW SPATIAL DATA TO ANALYZE THREATS OF WILDFIRE, WE CAME OUT WITH A CALL TO ACTION TO TREAT THOUSANDS OF ACRES IN OUR REGION. THE PRICE TAG WOULD NOT BE CHEAP BUT AS WE HAVE SEEN TIME AND TIME AGAIN, BIG INVESTMENTS IN WILDFIRE MITIGATION ARE MUCH CHEAPER THAN FIRE SUPPRESSION AND POST-FIRE RECOVERY COSTS. IN OUR REGION, MUCH LIKE IN THE WATERSHEDS IN THE LAS VEGAS AND MORA REGION, IT'S MORE THAN JUST PROTECTING WATERSHED HEALTH AND WATER SUPPLY FUNCTIONS - IT'S ABOUT PROTECTING COMMUNITIES AND WAYS OF LIFE.
FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4B	WILDLIFE AND FISHERIES RIO GRANDE CUTTHROAT TROUT PHASE 2: PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION GUIDE ON PRIVATE LANDS (WITH SUPPORT FROM NEW MEXICO HABITAT CONSERVATION INITIATIVE) BUILDING OFF OF THE RETURN OF THE NATIVE: RIO GRANDE CUTTHROAT AND PRIVATE LANDS STEWARDSHIP REPORT, THIS EFFORT WILL FOCUS ON CREATING 'SHOVEL-READY' PROJECTS IN SPECIFIC AREAS WHERE RGCT CONSERVATION STRATEGIES MAY BE MOST IMPACTFUL. OUR GOAL IS TO WORK WITH LANDOWNERS, AGENCY, AND NGO PARTNERS TO DEVELOP PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION GUIDES DESIGNED TO SET THE STAGE TO APPLY FOR IMPLEMENTATION FUNDING TO BETTER PROTECT HIGH QUALITY EXISTING POPULATIONS OF RIO GRANDE CUTTHROAT. MIGRATORY WILDLIFE CORRIDORS THE CPLA REGION IS HOME TO VERY IMPORTANT WILDLIFE MIGRATION CORRIDORS DUE TO LIMITED DEVELOPMENT AND INTACT LANDSCAPES. CPLA PROMOTES CONSERVATION EASEMENTS AS A TOOL TO HELP KEEP LANDSCAPES INTACT. WE ALSO PROMOTE WILDLIFE CONFLICT RESOLUTION STRATEGIES. MANY SMALL LANDOWNERS HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING SIGNIFICANT DEPREDATION FROM ELK AND WE SEEK TO PROMOTE SOLUTIONS THAT CONSERVE HABITAT AND WILDLIFE POPULATIONS WHILE AT THE SAME TIME KEEPING FARMERS AND RANCHERS ON THE LANDSCAPE DURING A TIME WHEN SO MANY PRESSURES MAKE IT IS INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT TO MAKE A LIVING IN AGRICULTURE.

WE WANTED TO PRODUCE A FILM THAT HIGHLIGHTED PRIVATE LANDS CONSERVATION, AND THIS STORY THIS THROUGH THE LENS OF THE CRITICALLY IMPERILED SAN JUAN CUTTHROAT TROUT. THERE ARE JUST A FEW STREAMS LEFT IN THE WORLD SUPPORTING THIS TROUT SUBSPECIES, AND MOST OF THOSE ARE ON UNDISTURBED PRIVATE LANDS. PARTNERSHIPS BETWEEN PRIVATE LAND MANAGERS AND STATE WILDLIFE OFFICIALS ARE WORKING HARD TO PROTECT THESE POPULATIONS AND THESE PARTNERSHIPS PROVIDED A FRAMEWORK FOR STATE WILDLIFE OFFICIALS RESCUING AND RELOCATING FISH ONTO PRIVATE LAND THAT WERE THREATENED BY AN ACTIVE WILDFIRE SITUATION. THE FISH AND THE FLAME HAS DONE AMAZINGLY WELL IN ENVIRONMENTAL FILM FESTIVALS, EARNING AT LEAST 8 AWARDS SO FAR COMMUNITY SERVICE AND OUTREACH PARTICIPATION AND LOCAL OUTREACH AT MEETINGS AND EVENTS HAS HELPED CONTINUE TO KEEP CPLA WORKING IN SERVICE OF OUR GREAT COMMUNITIES.

THE PROGRAM WAS HOUSED IN THE UPPER CHAMA SOIL & WATER CONSERVATION FACILITY IN TIERRA AMARILLA. SIX DAYS THROUGHOUT SUMMER AND FALL WERE COORDINATED WITH VOLUNTEERS TO LOAD WOOD.

WE ARE WORKING WITH NUMEROUS PARTNERS TO PROMOTE RIPARIAN RESTORATION IN THE REGION, WITH OUR PRIMARY GOALS BEING: PROTECT QUANTITY AND QUALITY OF WATER, SLOW DOWN THE MOVEMENT OF WATER WHERE APPROPRIATE, RAISE THE WATER TABLE OF RIPARIAN AND WETLAND SYSTEMS, AND CREATE STREAM HABITAT COMPLEXITY. WE ARE WORKING WITH PARTNERS TO PROMOTE THE USE OF LOW-TECH, PROCESS-BASED RESTORATION TECHNIQUES. PUBLIC POLICY FOR CONSERVATION ENSURING A VOICE FOR PRIVATE LANDS CONSERVATION AS WE FACE A GLOBAL BIODIVERSITY CRISIS, LOCAL LANDOWNERS ARE WORKING TO SAFEGUARD BIODIVERSITY AND WILDLIFE HABITAT IN THE SAN JUAN-CHAMA REGION.
