Central Utah Greater Sage-grouse Translocations
A 5-year project from 2016-2020 to perform greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) translocations from northern and south-central Utah into a declining population located in central Utah to prevent extirpation, or local extinction. We translocated 146 male and female sage-grouse across the spring seasons of 2016-2019 and monitored survival, movements, genetics, and breeding/production, with 2020 being a follow-up year.
