This report, released by federal agencies, introduces a spatially explicit model that assesses sagebrush ecological integrity to plan a strategic, threat-based landscape conservation design. The report indicates a staggering 1.3 million acres of sagebrush rangeland are being lost annually. While climate change poses a threat, the diverse group of experts concluded that invasive grasses and
The goal for this manual is to provide practical information for the implementation of mitigation measures that aim to: 1. Improve human safety through reducing collisions with large animals, including wild mammal species, feral species, and free-roaming livestock species, and 2. Improve or maintain habitat connectivity for terrestrial wildlife species through safe crossing opportunities.
