Talk:Pituophis melanoleucus mugitus

Conservation status, last paragraph - keep or delete?
Hey y'all! I just created this article and I really couldn't decide whether or not the last paragraph of Conservation status is necessary. Specifically, the one that goes:

"In order to increase the stability of this subspecies, some say it is necessary to establish large, connected tracts of land that undergo regular controlled burns. The continuity of these tracts of land could help maintain genetic diversity, while the controlled burns would help maintain the habitat for P. m. mugitus, among many other species. Corroborating this is NatureServe's Management Requirements, which directly state the need for consistent controlled burns. Additionally, the mean home range size among P. m. mugitus was measured to be 59.2 ha (146 acres), emphasizing the idea that large tracts of land are necessary."

I apologize if the decision is obvious; I've been staring at my computer for about ten hours writing this so my judgement is off. Something just feels weird about it, though, so I figured I'd ask here. Any input? Thanks! ReadItAlready (talk) 22:08, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
