Sensitive species of Nevada : 1990 report : Bureau of Land Management, Las Vegas District

Abstract

The Nevada Natural Heritage Program has assimilated data on endangered, threatened, rare, and sensitive species throughout the state. Our database in Carson City maintains detailed maps, file data, and a computerized information on 110 vertebrates, 60 invertebrates and 228 sensitive plants. The program has computerized 1500 references and 2000 occurrences of sensitive taxa in Nevada. Broader data on distribution, habitat, and qeneral biology of every vertebrate in the state are computerized. Please note that individual records of the deser tortoise and Lahontan cutthroat trout have not been mapped and are not included. These reports should not be.considered the final word as our data are gathered from a variety of sources, many are dated, and some areas of the state have never been thoroughly surveyed. The enclosed listings are sorted by BLM District and include fields pertaining to site information and population status. A complete print out has been supplied to the State Office m Reno. For clarifications, please call the Natural Heritage Program. We hope that these data will be used in a wide array of planning programs in order that our sensitive species will receive appropriate considerations and protection against further losses and habitat deterioration. We urge field workers to respond with new distributional information, updates on population status, and any elaborations that will assist in the maintenance of a current inventory of the diverse biota of Nevada.
