This grant is for partnering with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to address critical questions regarding the effectiveness of mitigation measures aimed at conserving the desert tortoise. The initiative focuses on evaluating current mitigation strategies, such as road fencing, culvert construction, and habitat rehabilitation, designed to offset impacts on tortoise populations. By assessing the success of these efforts in improving tortoise conditions, specifically reducing mortality and increasing recruitment, the project seeks to provide vital feedback. This effectiveness monitoring will measure how well mitigation actions achieve their expected outcomes and environmental effects, thereby enhancing agency decision-making processes for adaptive management and ensuring more successful conservation outcomes for the desert tortoise.

| Description: | BLM proposes to partner with applicant to address pressing questions associated with required mitigation measures (e.g. fencing roads, constructing culverts, rehabilitating disturbed habitat) to offset impacts to desert tortoise and determine how effective these measure are in improving tortoise conditions (e.g. reducing mortality and increasing recruitment). Effectiveness monitoring measures the success of the mitigation effort given the expected outcomes and resulting environmental effects, which can improve agency decision-making by providing feedback on the effectiveness of mitigation actions. |
