SUMMARY: The Lechuguilla-Mohawk Habitat Management Plan covers wildlife 
habitat improvement projects and monitoring on approximately 930,000 
acres of public land and military-withdrawn public land in southwestern 
Arizona. The plan will be implemented in cooperation with Arizona Game 
and Fish Department under the Sikes Act. Most of the land included in 
the plan is part of the Barry M. Goldwater Air Force Range which is 
administered by the Luke Air Force Base in Glendale, Arizona. The 
western portion of the Goldwater Range is used primarily by the Marine 
Corps Air Station, Yuma for training.
    Objectives of the plan include maintenance and enhancement of 
habitat for Sonoran pronghorn, desert tortoise, flat-tailed horned 
lizard, mule deer, desert bighorn sheep, upland game, nongame, and 
other sensitive wildlife habitat. It is projected that the plan 
objectives will be achieved within 20 years.
