DENVER — Colorado's invertebrates, including many pollinators, and rare plants have new protections after Gov. Jared Polis signed House Bill 24-1117 into law on Friday.
“Conservation is important to the health of our environment and communities," Polis said."Colorado’s renowned outdoor recreation and breathtaking natural beauty depend on the health of insects, pollinators, and other animals. Today, we are protecting and conserving the species that help make Colorado the beautiful state we all love."
The Butterfly Pavilion spokesperson explained the multiple ways this bill will benefit research, conservation and education surrounding invertebrates: “This legislation will help create programs designed to support conservation of native rare plants and invertebrates and can lessen the likelihood that the species will be added to federal threatened or endangered lists," Klute said.
