Pacific Northwest Habitat Conservation Plan

The Pacific Northwest Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) is a strategy designed to protect endangered species and their habitats while allowing for land development and resource use. It involves collaboration among government agencies, private landowners, and conservation groups to balance ecological conservation with economic activities, such as logging, farming, and urban development. The HCP outlines specific actions to preserve critical habitats, monitor species populations, and reduce environmental impacts, ensuring that both wildlife and local economies can thrive together. It aims to create a sustainable approach to land management in the Pacific Northwest, addressing the needs of both nature and people.
