The Bi-State DPS comprises a genetically unique meta-population of greater sage-grouse that defines the far southwestern limit of the species' range. This genetic distinction may be the result of natural geologic events and subsequent long-term geographic isolation based on prevailing physiographic and habitat condition. A collaborative approach for conservation of the Bi-State greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) was initiated in 2002 by the Bi-State Local Area Working Group (LAWG) under the guidance of the Nevada Governor's Sage Grouse Conservation Team. Over the past ten years, resource management agencies and stakeholders have implemented actions for long-term conservation of greater sage-grouse in the Bi-State area. The collaborative partnerships and efforts stemming from the LAWG have had a positive influence on sage-grouse conservation and management decisions in the Bi-State area. Final determination for listing occurred in September, 2013.
