00;)561 13 includes both native and non-native plant species, and include natural species; balanced successional stages; unique plants and threatened and endangered plants. MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES. ST AKEHOLDER INFORMATION NEEDS. MANAGEMENT ACTIONS B.l - General Terrestrial Resources MOll: Protect, restore, and enhance survival of native and special status species (federal, tribal, and state designations). Ensure that the required habitat for these species is preserved. IN 11.1 Define and specify ecology of native faunal components, especially threatened and endangered species; including evolutionary and environmental changes, natural range of variation, linkages, interdependencies, and requirements. IN 11.2 Determine species population characteristics to detect departures from natural range of variation. IN 11.3 Determine changes, declines in special status species and characterize ecosystem changes to benefit species. IN 11.4 Identify and characterize riparian wildlife habitat types along the river corridor. IN 11.5 Develop a comprehensive wildlife habitat map (using remote sensing and GIS) for the river corridor for high priority species (mammals, amphibians, reptiles, birds). IN 11.6 Evaluate/monitor leopard frog populations within Glen Canyon. Determine effects of dam operations on these populations (flooding, desiccation, loss of habitat). IN 11.7 Determine feasibility of establishing other populations of leopard frogs within the river corridor. IN 11.8 Identify and evaluate other sensitive amphibian and aquatic reptilian species, i.e., red spotted toads, Woodhouses toads, canyon tree frogs. MO 12: Maintain a natural age-class distribution of wildlife species throughout the majority of natural range in Glen and Grand Canyons, emphasizing the need to recruit into breeding age classes.
