Sorry that the html busted my links. (still learning)
And from here;

The Desert Tortoise Conservation Center was established in 1990 to receive wild tortoises in harm’s way from development. The Center has taken in unwanted pets tortoises since 1996 in the Las Vegas area. The Center is scheduled to close in December 2014 due to funding issues. All healthy tortoises at the Center will be relocated to sites that will support the recovery of the species. Healthy tortoises will not be euthanized.
Interested in adopting a desert tortoise?
If you live in Nevada contact the Tortoise Group at www.tortoisegroup.org (Southern Nevada) or the Reno Tur-toise Club (Northern Nevada) at www.sierrawave.org/rttc.
Note: "In harms way from Development"
What Development ?
BTW, the "Map" of the affected area is a joke.
Question.
What is "UNAUTHORIZED" livestock grazing.
Were there any other "Impound Actions" other than that of Mr. Bundy ?
