Gierisch Mallow Final Recovery Plan- 2024

This recovery plan describes criteria for determining when Gierisch mallow (Sphaeralcea gierischii) should be considered for reclassification from endangered to threatened status and to recovered status, lists site-specific actions that will be necessary to meet those criteria, and estimates the time required and costs to carry out those measures needed for recovery. Additionally, information on the species’ biology and status is included, along with a brief discussion of factors limiting its populations. A Species Status Assessment (SSA) report, which provides a more detailed accounting of the species’ status, biology, and threats, and a Recovery Implementation Strategy (RIS), which describes the activities to implement the recovery actions, are available online at the ECOS Gierisch Mallow Species Profile. The SSA report and the RIS will be updated as necessary
