Maintain current habitat, restore historical habitat, promote potential future habitat, and increase resilience of these habitats and surrounding habitats

Approach

Tactics

Strategically place fuel breaks to minimize risk to important habitat areas.
Restore disturbance regimes by reducing accumulated fuel loads.
Identify areas in the future that will have the disturbance regimes characteristic of late-successional and mature forests and big sagebrush, and mange to promote their development and resilience.

Sensitivity

• Changing intensity and frequency of fire regimes will decrease area and connectivity of some habitats- notably late-successional and mature forest and big sagebrush.

Strategy

Maintain viable habitats and populations
