Desert Tortoise Recovery Partnership

The Desert Tortoise Recovery Partnership (DTRP) was formed through partnerships between the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF), U.S. Marines Corps, U.S. Army, Department of Defense, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to coordinate implementation of strategies and provide additional resources to address the pressing conservation needs of the Mojave desert tortoise in the West Mojave Desert of southeastern California. The DTRP was established as an effort of the Recovery and Sustainment Partnership (RASP), a joint initiative of the Department of Defense and the Department of the Interior to develop species conservation and recovery programs and provide increased flexibility for military missions.
