Traduction automatique locale · Langue originale de la source
Résumé
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announces the availability for public review of a draft Recovery Plan for the Madison Cave Isopod (Antrolana lira). The Madison Cave Isopod is a subterranean freshwater crustacean endemic to the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia. The species was listed as threatened in November 1982 due to its extremely limited distribution and threats to the quality of its deep karst habitat. The objective of the proposed Recovery Plan is to protect Madison Cave isopod populations by conserving its groundwater habitat, thereby enabling its removal from the Federal list of endangered and threatened wildlife and plants. To accomplish this, the draft Plan recommends recovery activities that should continue or be initiated. If the Recovery Plan is successfully implemented, full recovery may be achieved by 2005. The Service solicits review and comment from the public on this draft Plan.
