WASHINGTON, DC--(Marketwired - Sep 15, 2014) -  Tracking an endangered tortoise across the Mojave Desert, which encompasses parts of California, Nevada, Utah and Arizona, can be complicated. Under a contract with the Mojave Desert Ecosystem Program (MDEP), Apprio Inc. will support endeavors to track threatened species and other programs in the Mojave ecosystem.

Apprio will provide geospatial and technology services in support of MDEP's core missions.
