A 5-Year Review for R. infernalis was conducted in 2011 and 2021. At the time of the most recent review, several cave clusters and individual caves had been identified as potential high-quality Karst Fauna Areas (KFAs). KFAs are geographically distinct areas within a KFR that are known to contain at least one population of an endangered karst species. The standing recommendation is to have 3 or more high-quality KFAs per KFR for R. infernalis. Several preserves have been established by the City of San Antonio and the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. These are being managed according to the Southern Edwards Plateau Habitat Conservation Plan Government Canyon State Natural Area Karst Fauna Areas Management and Monitoring Plan. The USFWS is in the process of trying to make these preserves into KFAs.
