The Desert Bighorn Management Plan provides guidance and sets priorities for a program to manage desert bighorn sheep habitat on public lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, and Utah. The goal of the program is to facilitate recovery of desert bighorn in the Southwest through a balanced program of inventory, on-the-ground projects, monitoring, and research. This program will be consistent with locally developed land-use plans. Numerous other wildlife species, many of which are threatened or endangered, will also benefit from this program.
