The BLM California Threatened and Endangered Species Program focuses on implementing the Department of Interior’s priorities by emphasizing actions that: protect biodiversity; slow species extinction rates; increase resilience to climate change and help leverage natural climate solutions; contribute to conserving at least 30 percent of our lands and waters by the year 2030; support State agencies to meet State wildlife population objectives; engage communities of color, low income families, and rural and indigenous communities to enhance economic opportunities related to wildlife; and use the best science and data available to make decisions.
The BLM California Threatened and Endangered Species Program has an opportunity to work with partner organizations to assist with:
Contributing to the above-described Program strategic goals.
On-the-ground actions that conserve and recover federally-listed, Bureau sensitive, and rare wildlife and plants.
Targeted inventory and monitoring to determine species status and conservation opportunities.
Gaining knowledge about federally-listed, Bureau sensitive, and rare species and their habitats including, but not limited to, propagation, genetics, ecology and threats.
Providing for proactive protection or management of federally-listed, Bureau sensitive, and rare species and their habitats, consistent with ESA section 7a1.
Augmenting federally-listed, Bureau sensitive, and rare species through translocations, seed collections, and/or propagation.
Increasing program efficiencies and effectiveness in Endangered Species Act (ESA) section 7a2 consultations and ESA section 7a1 conservation programs.
Increasing public knowledge of federally-listed, Bureau sensitive, and rare wildlife and plants on BLM managed lands, including with a targeted focus on communities of color, low-income families, and rural and indigenous communities.
Communications including program outreach, education, and Program website updates.
