Resident Agent in Charge (RAC) - Las Vegas, Nevada

Although located near the southern extremity of Nevada, this booming population center supports the RAC office.  The Nevada sub-District is an expansive and ecologically diverse land mass that extends throughout the state to approximately 150 miles from the Mexico border, at its southern extremity.  It includes largely undeveloped federal lands and several large, rapidly-growing population centers.  These population centers are often separated by vast expanses of land and/or geographic features that inhibit direct routes of travel. Rapidly-growing population centers such as Las Vegas, NV, are surrounded by federal lands, National Wildlife Refuges, and threatened/endangered species habitat.

Nevada has significant big game, upland game, waterfowl, furbearer and sport fish populations that are highly sought after. These include, but are not limited to Rocky Mountain and Desert Bighorn Sheep, Mountain Goat, Mule and White-tailed Deer, Elk, Moose, Pronghorn, Black Bear, Mountain Lion, and Bobcats. Rare cacti and other plants are being illegally removed from federal lands in Nevada and sold in the lucrative xeriscape landscape trade. Nevada is home to many threatened and endangered species, some of which occur nowhere else in the world. Nevada has 40 species listed as threatened or endangered, and nine candidate/proposed species. Listed species of note found in Nevada include the Desert Tortoise, Bald Eagle, Yuma Clapper Rail, and many species of rare fish (some species found only in one body of water). Nevada contains designated critical habitat for the Desert tortoise and several rare fish species.
