Roadless are protection is the subject of this article from New West. They write, "As a state agency, the Colorado Division of Wildlife has yet to issue an official stance on how best to administer the state's Inventoried Roadless Areas (IRAs). Meanwhile, 100 percent of its area managers and field biologists say[sigma]keep them roadless. At a Feb. 10 meeting in Denver, the DOW presented an extensive report to the Roadless Areas Review Task Force (RARTF) -- a 13-member 'bipartisan' group established to help determine the future of Colorado[base ']s IRAs. In part, a summation of the report states, 'It is the consensus opinion based on science, local expertise and sound knowledge that all Inventoried Roadless Areas in Colorado should be protected, preserved, enhanced, managed and maintained in a manner that provides the maximum benefit for wildlife and wildlife habitat, and that in-turn can then provide significant return benefits to local and distant citizens and to forest visitors.'"
