What is the relationship between the USFWS recommendations for conserving species in the biological opinions to Appendix D and the standards and guidelines in the ROD?
The Biological Opinion for the Sierra Nevada Forest Plan Amendment Supplemental EIS includes Conservation Recommendations for several species. Many of the recommendations are project -level recommendations that can only be evaluated as individual projects are proposed. As these projects are proposed, they will be evaluated for the effects on listed species. Where effects are determined to occur, consultation with the Service will be initiated and projects may be modified to implement some of the conservation recommendations or other recommendations. Several species had Conservation Recommendations regarding developing or implementing Recovery Plans. The Forest Service is committed to working with the FWS in developing and implementing Recovery Plans for listed species that occur on National Forest System lands and that are affected by activities funded or permitted by the Forest Service. There are several Conservation Recommendations that suggest landscape analyses are to be completed
