I’m not totally clear what the curator request is for – are the other places not editable to non-curators or you want someone to merge these in a way that doesn’t change the parent or drop species? I’m happy to merge these if you don’t have the permissions, and I can change the parent back to Colorado State Parks, but I don’t think I can fix the species list problem.
(I will say that there are also mystery reasons why non-standard places become non-editable even to curators, so there’s a chance I might break it so only staff can fix it.)
