Saving the Desert Tortoise
Transition Habitat Conservancy owns over 4,000 acres of land in the Freemont-Kramer and Super-Cronese Critical Habitat Units and works in partnership with the Bureau of Land Management to manage nearly 250,000 acres of land in these regions. We work extensively to acquire land in these Critical Habitat Units and are currently working on our WCB-awarded grant for $1.9 million to save the desert tortoise from the brink in the Western Mojave Desert. Our work with our partner groups is implementing revolutionary technology to actively conserve this incredible species.

Protecting the Western Joshua Tree
Transition Habitat Conservancy is on the cutting edge of implementing new and inventive restoration techniques to benefit the Western Joshua tree throughout it’s range and as it faces an uncertain future. We have acquired and permanently protect thousands of acres of Joshua tree woodland in the Western Mojave as well as help other land managers to accomplish this goal. We work closely with our partners at the California Department of Fish and Wildlife in order to advise them on best management practices and best quality habitat that the can sustain all demographics of the tree.
