the Coronado National Forest (National
Forest Service), the San Pedro Riparian
National Conservation Area (Bureau of
Land Management), and Fort Huachuca
Military Reservation (United States
Army); a small portion is in private
ownership. The taxon occurs in five
watersheds in southeastern Arizona and
adjacent portions of Sonora, Mexico. In
the United States, we are aware of 17
locations supporting extant occurrences
of L. schaffneriana ssp. recurva, 8
locations where all L. schaffneriana ssp.
recurva occurrences are considered
extirpated, and 6 locations where no
occurrences have been relocated in
recent years. In Sonora, Mexico, we are
aware of 21 locations supporting L.
schaffneriana ssp. recurva occurrences,
though most of these locations have not
been revisited in recent years. It is
difficult to estimate the number of
individuals due to the clonal nature of
the taxon, though estimates of density
indicate most occurrences are stable or
in decline.
The principal recovery strategy is to
conserve the habitat of L. schaffneriana
ssp. recurva by implementing a variety
of protection strategies, including
decreasing groundwater pumping,
increasing water conservation and
recharge, and protecting L.
schaffneriana ssp. recurva occurrences
and their seedbanks. Providing
conservation and restoration of the
taxon and its habitat will allow stable,
self-sustaining occurrences to persist
with some level of connectivity and
opportunities for expansion and
dispersal. Additional efforts will focus
on improving the baseline
understanding of L. schaffneriana ssp.
recurva ecology and threats.
(2) Conserve existing and newly
discovered L. schaffneriana ssp. recurva
occurrences and their seedbanks;
establish new occurrences in
appropriate habitat; establish plants at
botanical gardens for research, recovery,
and educational purposes; and maintain
seeds for conservation and recovery at
seed storage facilities.
(3) Remove stressors related to
invasive plants, unmanaged livestock
grazing, and small population size to L.
schaffneriana ssp. recurva occurrences
and their habitats.
(4) Develop a standardized monitoring
technique based on existing protocols;
monitor L. schaffneriana ssp. recurva
occurrences, threats, and outcomes from
management actions allowing for
adaptive management.
(5) Encourage scientific study to
improve our understanding of L.
schaffneriana ssp. recurva geography,
ecology, viability, genetics, propagation,
restoration, and threats in the United
States and Mexico.
(6) Develop public outreach,
collaborative partnerships, agency
management plans, and agreements
with private land owners in the United
States and Mexico that encourage L.
schaffneriana ssp. recurva conservation.
The draft recovery plan focuses on
conserving and enhancing habitat
quality, protecting populations,
managing threats, monitoring progress,
and building partnerships to facilitate
recovery. When the recovery of L.
schaffneriana ssp. recurva approaches
these criteria, we will review the
species’ status and consider
downlisting, and, ultimately, removal
from the list of federally threatened and
endangered wildlife and plants.
Recovery Plan Goals
The objective of a recovery plan is to
provide a framework for the recovery of
a species so that protection under the
Act is no longer necessary. A recovery
plan includes scientific information
about the species and provides criteria
and actions necessary for us to be able
to reclassify the species to threatened
status or remove it from the list of
federally endangered and threatened
wildlife and plants. Recovery plans help
guide our recovery efforts by describing
actions we consider necessary for the
species’ conservation, and by estimating
time and costs for implementing needed
recovery measures. To achieve its goals,
this draft recovery plan identifies the
following objectives:
(1) Protect and restore functional
aquatic habitat and reduce dewatering
threats to known and newly discovered
L. schaffneriana ssp. recurva
occurrences and habitat.
Request for Public Comments
Section 4(f) of the Act requires us to
provide public notice and an
opportunity for public review and
comment during recovery plan
development. It is also our policy to
request peer review of recovery plans
(July 1, 1994; 59 FR 34270). In an
appendix to the approved recovery plan,
we will summarize and respond to the
issues raised by the public and peer
reviewers. Substantive comments may
or may not result in changes to the
recovery plan; comments regarding
recovery plan implementation will be
forwarded as appropriate to Federal or
other entities so that they can be taken
into account during the course of
implementing recovery actions.
Responses to individual commenters
will not be provided, but we will
provide a summary of how we
addressed substantive comments in an
appendix to the approved recovery plan.
