The Recovery and Conservation Plan for the Gray-banded Kingsnake is a strategic-level document which provides guidance for the long-term management, conservation, and recovery of the gray-banded kingsnake in New Mexico. This plan was developed with the primary intent to meet statutory requirements for state recovery plans as described within the New Mexico Wildlife Conservation Act. Where possible, it has also been formatted to be consistent with New Mexico Department of Game and Fish long-range plans and other (federal) recovery plans.
