Detailed Description
A desert tortoise in the shade of a solar panel at the Gemini Solar Project. Gemini developed measures to avoid, minimize and mitigate impacts to the environment during construction and operation, including slightly raised fences that allow desert tortoises, other reptiles and small mammals to pass underneath. USGS collaborates with the Bureau of Land Management on research at this array. Photo by Alex Croydon.
