OpportunityTitle: BLM CA Panoche Plateau Leopard Lizard Shrub Habitat Study
Description: Study of the shrubs that provide the habitat that the blunt-nosed leopard lizard depends on for survival, which is a required recovery task for downlisting this species. Recovering and delisting this species will provide widespread economic relief due the removal of endangered species restrictions, and also serves the direct public interest of preventing the extinction of an endangered species. In addition, the recipient and BLM will have a close collaborative relationship. The Hollister Field Office Ecologist will co-mentor two students. All students will complete degree requirements by the end of the project. A total of 10 peer-review publications will be generated directly from this project.
