Description
The
purpose of this Cooperative Agreement is to research, monitor, and adaptively
manage Chorizanthe orcuttiana
and Piperia cooperi
populations, ecological drivers, and habitat (including competing vegetation),
and analyze results to better inform an understanding of the species' status
and ecological requirements, per the statement of work. The research of Chorizanthe orcuttiana and Piperia cooperi populations and
ecological drivers, combined with their adaptive management (1) provides
assurance against their potential extinction, (2) allows for removal of
ecological encumbrances on their long-term survival and expansion, and (3)
allows for re-introduction of the species in other areas of available habitat.
Within the regulatory framework, the proposed cooperative agreement would
ensure compliance with the Endangered Species Act, Sikes Act, and NBPL
Integrated Natural Resources Management Plan. Please see Statement of Work for
further details.
