I fail to see what is NOT notable about saving from possible extinction two rare species of stream-life in America's increasingly threatened wild. The article demonstrates that a long, complicated, intensely cooperative process is required to help preserve even a comparatively tiny fraction of our wildlife. Nor does it surprise me that such a specialized effort is not "in the news," nor recorded in any but official venues that are directly concerned.

Colorado Pikeminnow and Razorback sucker data were collected for several years before the recovery program was begun in 1992. Adult and young-of-year Colorado Pikeminnow and adult Razorback Sucker were collected during 1987-1989 by biologists gathering detailed fish community data for use in potential Razorback Sucker reintroduction efforts.^[1] This discovery resulted in the reinitiation of Section 7 consultation through the Bureau of Reclamation for the Animas–La Plata Project;^[2] and subsequently, the Navajo Indian Irrigation Project underwent Section 7 consultation through the Bureau of Indian Affairs.^[3]

A research program was begun in 1991 that identified and characterized factors limiting the two endangered species.^[4]

In 1992, the recovery program was initiated with the signing of a Cooperative Agreement, after the rediscovery and documentation of successful spawning by Colorado Pikeminnow and the continued presence of Razorback Sucker in the San Juan River. This framework for the program was outlined in a program document, first developed in 1991 and adopted in 1992 by the Cooperative Agreement signatories. This document was modified by the Coordination Committee (one of two standing committees) in 2006, 2010, and 2012.^[5] The research program, which ended in 1997, was incorporated into the recovery program.

The committees include representatives of the signatories to the Cooperative Agreement (extended in 2006 to September 30, 2023), including state and federal agencies and Native American Tribes. Water development and conservation interests are also participants of the Program.
