US FOREST SERVICE ROLES IN CRAYFISH CONSERVATION
Effective conservation of crayfish diversity in the USA will require focused effort by multiple categories of land owners and land managers, including the federal government. Conservation prioritizations often categorize USDA Forest Service (FS) lands in some type of “protected” status, suggesting that species on those lands already have a degree of protection. Indeed, the FS mission is to “sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of the nation’s forests and grasslands to meet the needs of present and future generations”. That mission is implemented via 3 main branches, each with the ability to contribute to crayfish conservation in different ways. All branches cooperate with other agencies, NGOs, academia, and private/industrial landowners. I will explore the notion that crayfishes are protected by virtue of occurring on FS lands and will address various avenues by which the FS currently contributes to crayfish conservation. I will also consider possible future directions.
