The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is offering this grant to support projects focused on documenting and addressing habitat connectivity within the California desert. This grant is for the critical purpose of maintaining robust wild populations of plants and animals across diverse ecosystems. Effective habitat connectivity planning is essential to prevent additional species from being listed, stabilize existing populations, and avoid expensive, long-term recovery efforts. The knowledge gained from this work is vital for the BLM to fulfill its land conservation responsibilities, ensuring the long-term ecological health and biodiversity of the California desert. This initiative directly supports the conservation mandates outlined in FLPMA.
