Description: Provides a framework for the conservation and management of Special Status Plants (SSP) that will guide botanical activities for the Las Vegas District of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). Special Status Plants are defined as those taxa which are listed: 1) Federally as threatened or endangered (T & E) or as a candidate T & E taxa; 2) by State; 3) by the BLM State Director as sensitive; or, 4) due to restricted habitat or limited numbers based on the available knowledge and which could become endangered in the future. Multiple-use activities, rapid urban expansion, and introduction of aggressive non-native plant and animal species are contributing factors to increased habitat destruction. Proposed field work would take place in two Resource Areas within the Las Vegas District: Stateline and Caliente. Stateline Resource Area contains approximate 3.7 million acres of public land, primarily in Clark County, and the southernmost portion of Nye County. Caliente Resource Area occupies the southern half of Lincoln County and includes 3.4 million acres of public land within its jurisdiction.
