The Department of Natural Resources is offering a grant to assess the long-term viability of the swift fox population in Badlands National Park and western South Dakota. The project aims to monitor reproduction, pup survival, habitat preference, and genetics to guide future management decisions. Additionally, it seeks to investigate the potential merging of the Badlands swift fox population with the resident population in Southwestern South Dakota to enhance genetic diversity and overall population viability. Closing date for applications is July 9, 2008.

| Description: | Badlands National Park (BADL) began a three-year swift fox restoration program in 2003. A significant number of these released foxes are surviving to reproduce and will likely establish a population. Therefore, it is essential to continue to monitor this population by gathering reproduction, pup survival, habitat preference, and genetic information in order to assess the long-term viability of the population. This project will also guide future management decisions about population supplementation beyond the current release program. In addition, it will be important to determine if/when the Badlands swift fox population merges or connects with the resident swift fox population in southwestern South Dakota. These two populations would then begin to function as a metapopulation and thus increase genetic diversity and population viability. |
