GLRI Endangered Species Grant Program: This funding opportunity is for conducting efforts to stabilize and increase population trends for Poweshiek skippering (Oarisma poweshiek), Mitchell's Satyr Butterfly (Neonympha mitchellii), or Dwarf Lake Iris (Iris lacustris), listed under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act), and occur within the Great Lakes Watershed of the United States. Restoration sites occur in Michigan and would involve 1) refining husbandry techniques and conducting captive rearing efforts for Poweshiek skipperling; 2) controlling invasive species through control, removal and prescribed burning for Poweshiek skipperling and Mitchell's satyr; 3) enhance habitat through habitat restoration for Mitchell's satyr and Poweshiek skipperling; 4) research and modeling efforts to better understand species needs and issues; 5) pesticide risk assessment and management; 6) surveys and monitoring to document our project success; 7) development of standardizing monitoring protocols for dwarf lake iris, status assessment of element occurrences, updating the Natural Heritage Database, and development of a Population Viability Analysis (PVA).
