Water for a desert denizen

Article Abstract:

The White Sands pupfish, indigenous to the Tulrosa Basis of New Mexico, is threatened by habitat loss due to diversion of water for irrigation, and the presence of feral horses. Trails made by horses in shallow marshes drain water to lower areas, making the portions used by the pupfish dry. The New Mexico Department of Game and Fish, with assistance from other agencies, has set up a program to protect the pupfish habitat. Eradication of non-native fishes from areas inhabited by the pupfish and developing additional suitable areas are some of the measures adopted for the purpose.

Desert tortoise HCP

Article Abstract:

Wasington county's desert tortoise Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) is aimed at protecting the endangered desert tortoise from extinction in the Mojave Desert, Utah. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has issued an incidental take permit to HCP which allows the county to take about 1,169 desert tortoises over a 20-year period. Major activities of the HCP include formation of a habitat reserve for desert tortoises, land development and conservation, and creation of environmental education programs for providing information on wildlife and ecosystem.

Apache trout: on the brink of recovery

Article Abstract:

The threatened Apache trout, a native sport fish found only on White Mountain Apache homelands in Arizona, has been saved from extinction by the White Mountain Apaches who have been managing its recovery since the 1960s. The tribe has assisted the Fish and Wildlife Service with a restocking programme which has produced many million Apache trout specifically for sports fishing and to maintain the species' genetic integrity.
