- Summary:
- PTA contains some vegetated areas that harbor a high density of threatened and endangered plant and animal populations, prompting the designation of a number of ecosystems within PTA as some of the rarest in the world. The tables in Appendix 2 list rare plants and animals that occur at PTA. Because of the importance of the endangered species populations and the potential threat posed by military activities, the Army has entered into consultations with the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) to provide a more effective wildfire management program. This report includes information about PTA’s fire history, vegetation and fuels, and pre- suppression fire management recommendations.
