OVERVIEWLong term research and monitoring of Mojave desert tortoises is funded through various government agencies, and occurs seasonally (spring and fall), with survey plots sampled on a rotating basis in conservation areas and protected habitat throughout the Mojave Desert. Tortoises are counted, measured, and assessed for health and body condition to generate range-wide estimates for demographics and population-level patterns in health and mortality.
