Outline of Quino Recovery Plan - The Xerces Society

9) Manage activity on trails where habitat occurs in recreational use areas,
particularly during the active season for Quino checkerspot larvae and
adults.
10) Locate or introduce two populations or metapopulations in the remaining
undeveloped coastal areas of the Quino checkerspot’s historic range.
11) Survey for habitat and undocumented metapopulations in undeveloped
areas outside of Recovery Units.
12) Reduce fire frequency and illegal trash dumping in habitat areas
13) Enter into a dialogue with governmental and nongovernmental
organizations in Baja California, Mexico.
14) Enter into dialogue with the Cahuilla Band of Mission Indians.
Total Estimated Cost to Meet Interim Recovery Objectives: $7,678,000+. The
estimated costs for many tasks remain to be determined; therefore, total costs
listed are lower than the total required to achieve recovery objectives. Some
tasks (e.g, habitat protection) will benefit multiple listed species in addition to
the Quino checkerspot, so their costs are not wholly attributable to this species.
Date of Recovery: Downlisting could be initiated in 2020, if recovery criteria
are met.
