Goal: Protect, enhance, and restore Stephens’ kangaroo rat occupied habitat and historically occupied habitat and the landscape connections between them to create resilient, self-sustaining populations that provide for persistence over the long-term (>100 years).
Management units: 5, 9
Inspect extant Stephens’ kangaroo rat occurrences on Conserved Lands (see occurrence table) using the regional IMG monitoring protocol to record abundance and collect habitat and threats covariate data to determine management needs.

Management units: 5, 9
Conduct routine management actions as identified through the IMG monitoring at Stephens' kangaroo rat occurrences on Conserved Lands (see occurrence table). Depending on the type and level of threat, management should be conducted as needed, not necessarily every year, and using BMPs with precautions to do no harm.
