"Understanding the Significance of Springs, Streams, and Marshes To
"Understanding the significance of springs, streams, and marshes to the total desert ecosystem, and their conservation, is the key to preserving the beauty and fasci- nation of this vast region." Dr. David Soltz (from The Natural History of Native Fishes in the Death Valley System) INTRODUCTION Ash Meadows is an extensive and entire desert wetland ecosystem located 60 miles northwest of Las Vegas near Death Valley National Monument in Nye County, Nevada. As the larg- est oasis in the Mojave Desert, this region supports a number of unique desert habitat types, 12 major springs and their outflows, and over 20 species of fish, plants and inverte- brates which are found nowhere else on earth. The rich plant and animal endemism of Ash Meadows is of considerable evolu- tionary significance and has attracted worldwide attention from leading natural scientists. As one of America's most important natural landmarks, the preservation of this remark- able oasis has been a top Nature Conservancy priority for more than ten years. At no time in Ash Meadows' history has the viabil-ity of this impressive natural area been more threatened than now. Preferred Equities Corporation, a Las Vegas development concern, currently has approved plans for a 25,000 lot sub- division on 12,653 acres at the heart of the Ash Meadows Valley. Once completed and fully populated, Preferred Equi- ties' development will virtually assure the extinction of the region's large numbers of already threatened fish, plant and invertebrate species. After extensive negotiations, there is now hope for the preservation of Ash Meadows. The Nature Conservancy currently holds an option to purchase Preferred Equities' entire 12,653 acre holdings for resale to the U.S.

The Natural Resource Technical Report Series is used to disseminate results of scientiﬁ c stud- ies in the physical, biological, and social sciences for both the advancement of science and the achievement of the National Park Service mission. The series provides contributors with a forum for displaying comprehensive data that are often deleted from journals because of page limitations. All manuscripts in the series receive the appropriate level of peer review to ensure that the in- formation is scientiﬁ cally credible, technically accurate, appropriately written for the intended audience, and designed and published in a professional manner.

Enceliopsis Nudicaulis Var. Corrugata (Ash Meadows Sunray)
Enceliopsis nudicaulis var. corrugata (Ash Meadows sunray) 5-Year Review: Summary and Evaluation Photo by Sarah Kulpa, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Nevada Fish and Wildlife Office Reno, Nevada September 2011 5-YEAR REVIEW Enceliopsis nudicaulis var. corrugata (Ash Meadows sunray) I. GENERAL INFORMATION Purpose of 5-Year Reviews: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) is required by section 4(c)(2) of the Endangered Species Act (Act) to conduct a status review of each listed species at least once every 5 years. The purpose of a 5-year review is to evaluate whether or not the species’ status has changed since it was listed (or since the most recent 5-year review). Based on the 5-year review, we recommend whether the species should be removed from the list of endangered and threatened species, be changed in status from endangered to threatened, or be changed in status from threatened to endangered. Our original listing of a species as endangered or threatened is based on the existence of threats attributable to one or more of the five threat factors described in section 4(a)(1) of the Act, and we must consider these same five factors in any subsequent consideration of reclassification or delisting of a species. In the 5-year review, we consider the best available scientific and commercial data on the species, and focus on new information available since the species was listed or last reviewed. If we recommend a change in listing status based on the results of the 5-year review, we must propose to do so through a separate rule-making process defined in the Act that includes public review and comment.
