The current overall condition status of the Southwestern Pond Turtle Species Indicator is Concern. There are four metrics for southwestern pond turtle. The current overall status is derived by considering the scores across the four metrics. The lack of sites with juvenile turtles is of Significant Concern (Metric 1). Invasive aquatic animals remain a Concern, despite intensive management at some sites (Metric 2). Low water availability due to prolonged, intense drought is a Concern (Metric 3). There is a lack of successfully reproducing populations on Conserved Lands, although this is improving with management (Metric 4). The two metrics with highest confidence (Metrics 1 and 4) have Improving trends due to intensive management. While there are still very few populations on Conserved Lands, restoration and translocation efforts have increased the number of occurrences with juvenile pond turtles within the regional preserve system. More metrics may be added for future analyses.
