Puritan Tiger Beetle Recovery Plan actions:

 * ====Monitor known populations and any new ones that are discovered. What is monitoring? ====
 * ====Create small habitat areas between larger populations to allow for genetic exchange between local populations resulting in a viable metapopulation: review the importance of metapopulations.====
 * ====Permanently protect at least three populations in the Connecticut River range. Two of these populations should consist of over 500 adults in their natural habitat. Consider protected areas.====
 * ====Write a plan to assure the survival of each Puritan tiger beetle population, considering factors like the beetle's life history, genetics, taxonomy and the impact of human actions.====
 * ====Devise a public education program. [[image:tiger_beetle_survey_volunteer.jpg width="125" height="117" align="right" caption="Tiger beetle survey volunteer (6). Note that counting occurs from the water, to avoid disturbing mating beetles." link="@References"]]====
