Recovery Implementation Teams Spring 2016 Meetings

RIT Terms of Reference

Formally appointed recovery teams

Plan, implement, evaluate recovery actions across jurisdictional boundaries

Members must have a commitment to working collaboratively for recovery of the desert tortoise and be knowledgeable about desert tortoise issues, including related management issues.

RIT Tasks

Develop Recovery Action Plan (RAP) Coordinate implementation of recovery actions

through development of annual work plans Provide/secure the necessary resources for

implementation of annual work plans Assess effectiveness of recovery actions Compile results into range-wide database Report findings and status annually to the MOG Review/revise RAPs
