The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is offering this grant to partner with an applicant for effectiveness monitoring to conserve the desert tortoise. This grant addresses questions on mitigation measures: fencing roads, culverts, and habitat rehabilitation. The objective is to determine how effective these actions are in improving tortoise conditions, specifically by reducing mortality and increasing recruitment. This monitoring measures the success of mitigation efforts against expected outcomes. The resulting feedback will significantly improve BLM’s decision-making, leading to more effective conservation strategies and better environmental stewardship for this species.
