There would be no direct effects to wildlife as a result of the No Action alternative. In the long term, if caretaker and security personnel were removed from the ranch, some wildlife species affected by human presence, living quarters, and noise may benefit. Overall, however, the indirect effects of the No Action alternative are anticipated to be negligible.

Cumulative effects to wildlife resources in the Piute-Eldorado Valley as a result of the No Action alternative are unlikely.
