    Kristen McCarty, Center for Environmental Management of Military Lands wildlife biologist, shares findings of a juvenile desert tortoise carcass with Olivia Baez, 99th Civil Engineer Squadron natural resource program manager, at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada, Sept. 13, 2021. Every spring and fall, the Nellis Natural Resources Program (NNRP) monitors Nellis AFB and the Nevada Test and Training Range (NTTR) for signs of Mojave desert tortoises. The search consists of systematically hiking through the desert tortoise habitat and recording desert tortoise, their burrows, scat and other tortoise signs.
