The management of Threatened, Endangered, and Invasive Species is critical for maintaining near and long term training and test capacity of the over 30 million acres of land for which DoD is responsible. This session presents the progress that SERDP research and ESTCP demonstration are making at both protecting threatened, endangered, and at-risk species while controlling invasive species. SERDP and ESTCP efforts focus on minimizing impacts and reducing conflicts between threatened, endangered, and at-risk species management and military activities; identifying species vulnerable to population and habitat decline; maintaining long-term species and habitat viability; and reducing the potential for future listings.
