Collaborative Strategy Workshop for Mojave Ground Squirrel Conservation

The Mojave Ground Squirrel, an endemic species in California's West Mojave Desert, faces increasing threats due to habitat loss and environmental changes. To address these concerns, the Desert Management Group (DMG) is uniting with stakeholders to develop a comprehensive and implementable conservation strategy for the long-term protection of the species and its habitat. A rough draft of the strategy has been circulated among key organizations for feedback. A more accurate range map is needed, and recent finds indicate the potential for new trapping areas. The workshop update has been postponed due to funding issues.
