Threat reduction Sample Clauses

Threat reduction. Land use practices and site conditions may be changed to improve conditions for the Fender’s blue butterfly, Xxxxxxx’x lupine, and other associated species. For example, grazing can be destructive to Xxxxxxx’x lupine and other native plants if it removes vegetative and reproductive plant structures, or if it disturbs the substrate. Grazers can also introduce or increase the spread of invasive species into habitats (Fish and Wildlife Service 2010).

Threat reduction. Land use practices and site conditions may be changed to improve conditions for the Fender’s blue butterfly, Xxxxxxx’x lupine, and other associated species. For example, grazing can be destructive to Xxxxxxx’x lupine and other native plants if it removes vegetative and reproductive plant structures, or if it disturbs the substrate. Grazers can also increase the spread or introduce invasive species into habitats (Fish and Wildlife Service 2010). Therefore, practices such as fencing to exclude livestock from sensitive areas, or changing the seasonal usage, may be included in site-specific plans. Similarly, the use of herbicides for a Cooperator’s on-going land management practices may be curtailed or eliminated near sites where listed species occur. Opportunities to include measures that reduce threats and further improve conditions for listed species will be determined on a site-specific basis using available information, including recovery plans. Currently, a detailed account of the threats to existing populations of Xxxxxxx’x lupine is available in the Recovery Plan for Lupinus sulphureus spp. kincaidii (Fish and Wildlife Service 2010).
