Efforts to restore pronghorn antelope
6/26/2003
Arizona Daily Sun
Members of the Coconino Rural Environmental Corps are working to restore pronghorn antelope habitat in the Anderson Mesa area east of Flagstaff.
According to reports from CREC and Arizona Game and Fish, crews will work to eliminate encroaching juniper to increase pronghorn habitat. The work will take place July 7-11, Aug. 4-8, Aug. 11-15 and Aug. 18-22. The goal is to restore 1,900 acres of habitat.
Arizona Game and Fish has been involved in research to determine the reasons for the decline in the pronghorn antelope population during the past 50 years. They have yet to pinpoint a specific cause, but cite pinyon and juniper encroachment, heavy predation, nutrition loss due to a lack of browse, the erection of fencing and a lack of hiding for fawns as possible factors.
