This grant is for the conservation and recovery of the endangered lesser long-nosed bat, mandated by Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act. The Arizona Fish and Game Department, in collaboration with Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, will conduct a two-year study (2011-2012). This research aims to identify known and unknown bat roosts and determine occupancy patterns within the SBInet Ajo 1 Action Area, specifically focusing on Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument and Cabeza Prieta National Wildlife Refuge. The study will utilize pre/post-occupancy internal surveys, motion detectors, and remote DVR cameras. Results will provide crucial information on the impact of increased activities, including those by the Department of Homeland Security, on the bat’s migratory and resident populations, aiding in their recovery efforts.
