Hi Friend, Our wildlife relies on intact migration corridors which allow them to move safely between seasonal habitats. This is an essential part of the life cycle for many animals in Nevada. It is incumbent upon us to protect these crucial habitats and migration corridors. It is good for wildlife, habitats and people all across our state! Luckily, Governor Sisolak agrees that we need to protect our wildlife, public lands, and migration corridors. On Monday, the Governor signed an Executive Order creating the Nevada Habitat Conservation Framework which will take steps to restore and conserve intact, accessible natural areas which are critical to maintaining Nevada’s billion $ recreation economy, strengthen ongoing work to identify and protect wildlife migration corridors and associated habitats, and strengthen NDOT’s role in identifying opportunities to protect or restore sagebrush habitats and wildlife migration corridors. Thank Governor Sisolak on Twitter for Signing the EO! Greater than 50 percent of sagebrush habitats have been lost or degraded from threats such as wildfire, invasive species, climate change, and anthropogenic fragmentation. Taking steps outlined in this EO will provide benefits for the state’s sagebrush ecosystem. Every year deer, elk, bighorn sheep, and other large animals use migration corridors to give birth to their young & care for them. The Executive Order is a great step in the right direction. Protecting our wildlife has to be a top priority for all our elected officials! Don’t forget to thank Governor Sisolak today for signing this important Order.
