Author unknown. 1994. Determination of critical habitat for the Mojave population of the desert tortoise; Final rule; Part II. Fish and Wildlife Service, DOI
On March 10, 1994, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service designated the critical habitat for the Mojave population of the desert tortoise, Gopherus agassizii. Critical habitat areas were designated by physical and biological features that support nesting, foraging, sheltering, dispersal, and/or gene flow that are essential to the conservation of the threatened desert tortoise species. The range of the Mojave population of the desert tortoise includes portions of the Mojave desert, Colorado desert, and Sonoran desert that spans four states (southern California, southern Nevada, northwestern Arizona, southwestern Utah). Habitat maps, criteria decisions, economic impacts, consultation process, comments and recommendations are provided in this document.
