  3. Nearly two thirds of all species federallylisted as threatened or endangered existon private lands.

  4. Through Working Lands for Wildlife —a voluntary, incentive-based effort—the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and its conservation partners will provide landowners with technical and financial assistance to:

  5. Restore populations of declining wildlife species. • Provide landowners with regulatory certainty that conservation investments they make today help sustain their operations over the long term. • Strengthen and sustain rural economies by restoring and protecting the productive capacity of working lands.

  6. Goals and Objectives for the Gopher Tortoise WLFW will assist landowners to voluntarily create, restore or enhance gopher tortoise habitat, and increase habitat connectivity which can contribute to the recovery of the tortoise throughout its entire range.

  7. Actions • Provide, maintain and restore longleaf pine forests • Increase connectivity of existing gopher tortoise habitat, • Improve weed and invasive species management, • Promote use of government programs that provide incentives for development or restoration of habitat on private lands.
