Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP's) are land-use and biological planning efforts that address the classic conflict between human activities and endangered species protection. An HCP provides comprehensive, long-term conservation measures for species listed as threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species Act, or species that could be listed in the future.

Learn more about Habitat Conservation Plans by visiting the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's website.  The contact person at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) for the AWHCP is Sheila Larsen.
