Objective: The DNR seeks to purchase a study to assess the current status of a wood turtle population, its habitat use and availability, and risks to the species within the study area.

Background information: IThere is a need for the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to conduct surveys of the state endangered wood turtle (Glyptemys insculpta) in Iowa for the purpose of conservation planning. The wood turtle is considered imperiled throughout its range and was petitioned for federal protection under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) in 2012. Primary threats to the species include habitat loss and fragmentation, road mortality, illegal collection, predation, agricultural practices, and life history traits. This study will monitor a known wood turtle population at risk of localized impacts due to its proximity to the city of Waterloo in Black Hawk County, Iowa. The study aims to assess this population of turtles to better understand how it utilizes this modified landscape, identify threats and provide actionable data to support conservation planning for the population, minimizing the potential for local extirpation.
