The Neighborhood Conservation Plan will ensure that promises of good housing, beautiful natural surroundings, security, and economic prosperity are not made only to those who live in the outlying areas.
Pima County contracted with Arizona Game and Fish Department to conduct telemetry analysis and gather information that would lead to effective conservation and recovery initiatives for the cactus ferruginous pygmy-owl. During 1997, banded birds were monitored. Beginning in 1998 and during 1999, pygmy-owls were radio-marked with backpack transmitters and followed on foot or by vehicle.
The study generally confirms the trends and impacts identified in the February 2001 study "Air Quality in Pima County," and suggests two types of strategies for maintaining air quality and ensuring compliance with federal air quality standards. Potential funding sources and future legislative considerations are briefly discussed.
