Description

The BLM T&E Program focuses on conservation and recovery of endangered, threatened and BLM sensitive species (cumulatively referred to as special status species) and their habitats to help ensure balanced and diverse uses of BLM-managed lands including the Nation"s need for domestic sources of energy, minerals, timber, recreation, and fish and wildlife habitat for future generations. The T&E Program focuses on implementing the Department of Interior"s priorities by emphasizing actions that help streamline permitting processes and reduce regulatory requirements for authorizations (e.g., minerals, energy, timber, recreation). Overall, this can be achieved by 1) conserving and recovering species and their habitats to help recover and delist or help preclude the need to list new endangered and threatened species thereby reducing future regulations and 2) improving available information and data that can be used to support approval of authorizations. To meet these goals, the T&E Program has an opportunity to work with partner organizations to increase program efficiencies and effectiveness.
