  • Mimbres Resource Management Plan (RMP) Preparation Process
    United States Department of the Interior BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT Las Cruces District Office IN REPLY REFER TO: 1800 Marquess St. Las Cruces, New Mexico 88005 1600 (036) December 1993 Dear Reader: This document is the culmination of the Mimbres Resource Management Plan (RMP) preparation process. It contains both the Approved Resource Management Plan and the Record of Decision (ROD). Although this may mark the completion of the land use planning stage, it denotes the beginning of the plan implementation stage. Signed on April 30, 1993, the ROD for the Mimbres RMP records the acceptance of the Proposed RMP (with some modification) as the land use plan for the Mimbres Resource Area, and will shape the management direction of its resources for the next 20 years. Since the approval of the ROD, we have begun implementing the RMP. The Approved RMP as presented in this document will serve as a basis from which both the BLM and the public can track the implementation of the Plan. You will continue to be informed of the progress in implementation through the publication of an Annual RMP Update. This annual update will identify completed actions, as well as actions planned for the coming year, thus enabling you to be involved in specific land management actions. Your continuing interest and involvement in ELM's management of the public land and resources within the Mimbres Resource Area will be the key to successful implementation of the RMP. We look forward to our continued partnership in managing your public land. If you desire more specific information or would like to become more involved in the resource management process, we encourage you to write to the above address or call (505) 525-4352.

  • Jaguar Critical Habitat Comments in Response to 71 FR 50214-50242 (Aug
    October 19, 2012 Submitted on-line via www.regulations.gov, Docket No. FWS-R2-ES-2012-0042. Re: Jaguar critical habitat comments in response to 71 FR 50214-50242 (Aug. 20, 2012). To Whom it May Concern, The Center for Biological Diversity supports the designation of the entirety of the areas that the Fish and Wildlife Service proposes as critical habitat. However, these areas are not sufficient to conserve the jaguar in the United States. Nor does the Service’s itemization of threats to critical habitat areas cover the array of actions that would in fact destroy or adversely modify them. As we explain in detail in the comments below and through evidence presented in our appended letter of 10/1/2012 on the Recovery Outline for the Jaguar, we request seven principal changes in the final critical habitat designation rule, as follows: 1. The following additional mountain ranges within the current boundary of the Northwestern Recovery Unit (as described in the April 2012 Recovery Outline for the Jaguar) should be designated as critical habitat: in Arizona, the Chiricahua, Dos Cabezas, Dragoon and Mule mountains, and in New Mexico the Animas and adjoining Pyramid mountains. 2. The following additional “sky island” mountain ranges outside of the current boundaries of the Northwestern Recovery Unit should be designated as critical habitat: In New Mexico, the Alama Hueco, Big Hatchet, Little Hatchet, Florida, West and East Potrillo, Cedar and Big Burro mountains; in Arizona, the Galiuro, Santa Teresa, Pinaleno, Whitlock, Santa Catalina and Rincon mountains. Straddling both states, the Peloncillo Mountains north of the current boundaries of the Northwestern Recovery Unit should also be designated 3.

  • Love Is in the Air Trivia This Activity Includes 30 Questions Loosely Related to Valentine’S Day
    Love is in the Air Trivia This activity includes 30 questions loosely related to Valentine’s Day. The questions are accompanied by the answers and additional information for discussion. There are several activity possibilities: • For a group activity, read and discuss the trivia questions and answers. • For independent activities, print and distribute fill-in-the-blank copies of the questions without the answers. Also available are the questions with the answers. • Post one or more of the trivia questions on your bulletin board every day or so throughout the month using this special sign. Love is in the Air Trivia 1. What flower is a traditional symbol of love? Answer: The rose. Red roses suggest passion and true love. Dark pink indicates gratitude, while light pink refers to desire, passion, and energy. Yellow roses symbolize friendship or jealousy. A white rose suggests virtue or devotion. Thornless lavender roses indicate love at first sight. 2. Which saint went against the emperor’s wishes and performed secret marriages? Answer: Saint Valentine. Roman Emperor Claudius II forbid young men to marry. Saint Valentine secretly performed the forbidden marriages. When Claudius II found out, he executed Saint Valentine for his disobedience on February 14. 3. What did Richard Cadbury first introduce for Valentine’s Day in 1868? Answer: Box of chocolates. To increase sales, he decided to create “fancy” heart-shaped boxes. Over 36 million heart-shaped boxes of chocolates are sold throughout the world every year. 4. What type of candy, made by New England Confectionary Company, is the best-selling Valentine’s Day candy to date? Answer: Sweethearts.

  • Distributional Records for Seven Species of Mammals in Southern New Mexico
    Occasional Papers Museum of Texas Tech University Number 287 15 April 2009 DISTRIBUTIONAL RECOR D S FOR SEVEN SPECIES OF MA mm ALS IN SOUTHERN NEW MEXICO KEITH GELUSO ABSTRACT Geographic distributions of mammals are not static, and natural changes in distribution often are related to changes in habitat and climate. Mammalian distributions also can change with human introductions, lack of prior surveys, and misidentification of museum specimens. Here, I report on distributional records for seven species of mammals in southern New Mexico, including Nasua narica, Ammospermophilus harrisii, Chaetodipus baileyi, Dipodomys merriami, Peromyscus truei, Sigmodon fulviventer, and Sigmodon hispidus. For one species (A. harrisii), new records likely reflect a distributional shift related to recent changes in habitat, whereas oth- ers (C. baileyi, D. merriami, P. truei, S. fulviventer, and S. hispidus) likely represent overlooked populations because of a paucity of published surveys in the region. For N. narica, data include details on localities of record and reproductive data for a species previously known from the region but lacking specific details. Continued surveys and documentation of distributional limits of mammals will allow us to better evaluate how environmental changes affect biological com- munities and will help us to interpret new extra-limital records. Key words: distribution, extra-limital records, mammals, New Mexico INTRO D UCTION Distributions of mammals change through time arizonensis—Frey et al. 2008). Additionally, some and are not static.
