This grant supports the Lower Rio Grande Valley National Wildlife Refuge in revising its 1988 biological report on Tamaulipan brushland. The update will assess changes in native brushland habitats, human impacts on local fauna and flora, and refine management recommendations. A two-year extension provides additional funding for GIS mapping expertise. Graduate students will be instrumental in improving the Lower Rio Grande Valley NWR tract maps by adding crucial attributes. This initiative aims to enhance the understanding and management of vital brushland ecosystems in the region. The Lower Rio Grande Valley NWR will coordinate closely with the Oklahoma Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit throughout this collaborative effort.
