This $1,476,265.71 Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service under the Endangered Species Recovery Implementation program (CFDA 15.657) will support the conservation and recovery of rare and endangered amphibian and reptile species in Florida. Specifically, the project will focus on the federally endangered reticulated flatwoods salamander and provide additional support for the state-threatened Florida bog frog, gopher frog, gopher tortoise, eastern indigo snake, and eastern diamondback rattlesnake. The primary work will take place at the Escribano Point Wildlife Management Area, a stronghold for these species, as well as across the Gulf Coastal Plain Ecosystem Partnership landscape. Key activities will include habitat restoration, population monitoring, and other recovery actions outlined in species-specific recovery plans. The Longleaf Alliance Inc., a non-profit organization based in Alabama, will serve as the prime awardee and collaborate with sub-recipients such as state agencies and local conservation groups to execute this comprehensive conservation initiative over the 3-year performance period from October 2024 to September 2027.
