Service Description: Gopher Tortoise (GOTO): The gopher tortoise is considered a keystone species of longleaf pine forests, one of the most biologically diverse ecosystems in the world, because its presence supports the stability of hundreds of other wildlife species. As longleaf pine forests have declined because of development, fire suppression and lack of sound forestry management, gopher tortoise numbers have declined, too. In 1987, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service listed the gopher tortoise as threatened under the federal Endangered Species Act in the western part of its range. More than 80 percent of gopher tortoise habitat is privately owned and NRCS clients are helping the gopher tortoise by enhancing and restoring longleaf pine forests. With the help of NRCS, landowners are improving forest stands through prescribed burning and other sustainable forestry practices as well as planting new longleaf pine trees. Participating states are: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, and South Carolina.
