Restoration of wildlife habitat to restore and protect sage grouse, desert tortoise, and other upland habitats for priority species as well as instream and riparian habitat for migratory birds, endangered or special status aquatic species and other native and priority species. Increase on-the-ground project work to conserve, restore, and reduce the threats to sage-grouse and other sensitive species in high priority habitats. Continue consistent habitat monitoring across the range of the Greater Sage-Grouse and other landscape species using the Habitat Assessment Framework (HAF) and the land use plan habitat objectives for sage grouse and other priority species. Continue seed collections within priority species habitat and continue to develop genetically appropriate native and non-native plant material for use in habitat restoration. Continue to work with partners to prioritize and implement priority species conservation actions. The BLM manages these resources in cooperation with states, tribes, other federal agencies, and non-governmental organizations.
