What is being done to prevent extinction of running buffalo clover?
Listing – Running buffalo clover was added to the U.S. List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants on July 6, 1987. Recovery Plan – The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service prepared a recovery plan that identifies and prioritizes actions needed to conserve and recover this species. Land Management – Strategies to improve and maintain habitat for the running buffalo clover have been developed. Efforts are underway to carry out those management strategies on public and private lands that support running buffalo clover. Surveying and Monitoring – After listing as endangered, additional surveys were conducted to find existing populations. Monitoring those populations has increased our understanding of this species habitat requirements.
