Arizona: Availability of the Final Lechuguilla-Mohawk Habitat Management Plan (HMP), Yuma Field Office

摘要

The Lechuguilla-Mohawk Habitat Management Plan covers wildlife habitat improvement projects and monitoring on approximately 930,000 acres of public land and military-withdrawn public land in southwestern Arizona. The plan will be implemented in cooperation with Arizona Game and Fish Department under the Sikes Act. Most of the land included in the plan is part of the Barry M. Goldwater Air Force Range which is administered by the Luke Air Force Base in Glendale, Arizona. The western portion of the Goldwater Range is used primarily by the Marine Corps Air Station, Yuma for training. Objectives of the plan include maintenance and enhancement of habitat for Sonoran pronghorn, desert tortoise, flat-tailed horned lizard, mule deer, desert bighorn sheep, upland game, nongame, and other sensitive wildlife habitat. It is projected that the plan objectives will be achieved within 20 years.
