A key component of the Nevada Tahoe Resource Team’s contribution to the Lake Tahoe EIP is the evaluation of wildlife resources and habitats in order to implement protective measures and make management recommendations. This EIP project is an ongoing wildlife survey and monitoring program for the many sensitive wildlife species that occur on the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe. Project goals are to determine distribution, population status and trend, nesting success, and habitat use for Tahoe's species of conservation priority.
