PARC’s Northwest Region includes more habitat types
and ecosystems than any other region. These range from the temperate
rainforests of the Pacific Northwest to the high montane wetlands
of Montana and Wyoming. Salamander and garter snake diversity create
an amazing wildlife picture across the landscape. Herpetofaunal conservation
is a struggle throughout the region, and species are threatened by
land conversion to agricultural and urban uses, poor forestry practices,
and the dredging and filling of wetlands.
