The state has 305 species listed under the federal Endangered Species Act, not including the western Joshua tree. The tree is protected while it is considered for listing. The Joshua tree is endemic to the Mojave Desert, meaning that even when it is not threatened, it is still sensitive due to its limited range and growing conditions. If climate change continues to put pressure on the Joshua tree, it will have nowhere else to go.
Bonham brought up that the range of the Joshua tree has been migrating during the meeting Wednesday. He suggested that using traditional ecological knowledge, any conservation plans should consider a relocation process, or refugia, a biological term which refers to an area where a population of organisms can survive during unfavorable conditions. He also offered a co-management plan between tribal lands and state conservationists.
