House DE. 1987. Recovery Plan for Navajo Sedge, Carex specuicola JT Howell. US Fish and Wildlife Service, Region 2. Albuquerque, NM
Goal: To remove the threatened Navajo sedge (Carex specuicola) from the Federal list of threatened and endangered species by managing its essential habitat to sustain natural populations in the wild. Recovery Criteria: The criteria for delisting the Navajo sedge have not yet been determined. The implementation of studies in this recovery plan will provide the necessary data from which quantified delisting criteria can be established. Actions Needed: Major steps to meet the objective of this recovery plan include: permanent protection of all known habitat; inventory of potential habitat; establishment of monitoring plots; development and implementation of a habitat management plan; reintroduction of Carex specuicola onto protected sites; documentation of hydrological potential in habitat area; and demonstration of long term stability of populations and habitat.
