Habitat Conservation Plan

A Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) is a strategy created to protect endangered species and their habitats while allowing for development or land use. It outlines specific actions to minimize harm to wildlife and their environments, balancing ecological needs with economic activities. HCPs require collaboration among government, developers, and conservationists. By following an HCP, stakeholders can ensure that species are preserved, legal obligations are met, and projects can move forward without causing significant environmental impact.
