Clark County

Clark County Desert Conservation Program Will Implement Actions From the Connectivity Management Plan to Improve Habitat Connectivity for the Federally Threatened Mojave Desert Tortoise and Other Wildlife. the Project Includes Re-surveying Culverts to Assess Passability, Connecting Priority Culverts to Exclusion Fencing, and Installing Game Cameras to Monitor Wildlife Use. in Addition, a Fire Management Plan Will Be Developed Through Data Analysis and Stakeholder Workshops to Identify High-risk Areas and Recommend Strategies for Reducing Hazardous Fuels. These Efforts Will Enhance Safe Wildlife Movement Across Roads, Reduce Fire Threats to Critical Habitat, and Support Long-term Species Recovery. Success Will Be Measured by the Number of Culverts Reconnected, Completion of the Fire Management Plan, and Monitoring Results That Demonstrate Improved Habitat Connectivity. Beneficiaries Include Desert Tortoise Populations, Other Wildlife Species, and the Broader Ecosystem in Clark County.
