So I found something, on this: Link. So I did not write this but here: Leathery, shy and a bit world-weary, the Mojave desert tortoise doesn’t come across as a high-roller. But among land-going critters on the endangered species list, it’s among the top recipients of money spent by state and federal agencies trying to keep it from the brink of extinction, according to an Associated Press analysis of the last 11 years of available data. From 1996 to 2006, more than $93 million was spent on managing the long-lived reptile, records show. That’s more than was spent on other species such as the grizzly bear, gray wolf or bald eagle. Not bad for a pokey desert dweller that spends most of its time in underground burrows in parts of Utah, California, Arizona and Nevada. Not that preserving the tortoise is simple. The tortoise’s "critical habitat" stretches across 9,600 square miles. Jurisdictions include four states, seven military installations, four national parks and scores of federal, state and county agencies. Add to that a long list of threats, from highways, urbanization and wildfires to disease, off-road vehicles and climate change.
