U.S. Army Threatened and Endangered Species Research and Development Strategy and Action Plan
Abstract
The U.S. Army's environmental vision, as described in the U.S. Army Environmental Strategy into the 21st Century, is to support a proactive conservation posture with respect to natural and cultural resources, including Threatened and Endangered species (TES) and associated ecosystems, while maintaining a mission focus. This report defines the Army's approach and framework for planning, execution, and transfer of research necessary to deal effectively with challenges to TES on Army lands. The strategy establishes the process, approach, and focus the Army research and development community will use to develop cost effective products and capabilities to meet requirements under the Endangered Species Act and applicable Army regulations. It also ensures efficient allocation of R and D resources, appropriate levels of interservice and interagency coordination, and timely transfer of useful research products to the field. The action plan translates the goals and objectives that support the strategy into specific implementing actions. Taking these actions will ensure that the strategy is carried out to support the vision. Endangered species, Ecosystems, Threatened species, U.S. Army Environmental Strategy.
