; (H) is largely intact, undeveloped, and adjacent to other federally protected areas, such as Joshua Tree National Park, the Indian Pass Wilderness, and the Palen/McCoy Wilderness; (I) is a refuge for over 150 plant species, many of which cannot be found anywhere else, including— (i) Munz’s cholla, the largest endemic cacti in the State, which is located on the Chuckwalla Bench; (ii) the California fan palm, a plant managed and used extensively by Tribal people for thousands of years, which is found in oases at Corn Springs, the Mecca Hills Wilderness, and other locations in which tectonic movements allow groundwater to seep up; (iii) the triple-ribbed milk-vetch, which is listed as endangered under the Endangered Species Act of 1973 ( 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq. ); and (iv) other sensitive species, including Emory’s crucifixion thorn and Mecca-aster; (J) hosts— (i) some of the most extensive microphyll woodlands (which are small-leaf trees, such as ironwood and palo verde) in the State in places such as Milpitas Wash, a habitat critical to the survival of Tribal people; and (ii) many wildlife species, including the burro deer and migrating birds; (K) offers— (i) core habitat and essential migration pathways for wildlife, including over 50 sensitive animal species, including— (I) critical habitat for the Agassiz’s desert tortoise, which is listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act of 1973 ( 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq. ); and (II) critical habitat for the desert bighorn sheep, which is an iconic species with declining numbers; (ii) habitat in microphyll woodlands for large numbers of resident and migratory birds, which is crucial amid the otherwise major decline in bird numbers recorded in North America over the 50-year period preceding the date of enactment of this Act; and (iii) former habitat for the endangered Sonoran pronghorn in the Chuckwalla Bench, the site of a multi-year reintroduction effort that is already underway
