Learn More about Other Habitat Conservation Plans

Other HCP's

Other areas around the country have implemented their own Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP), which is essentially what the Sonoran Desert Conservation Plan is. These other plans have fallen short of actual conservation. These plans were pushed through so development could continue unhindered with no real protection to habitat and covered species. We hope that the Sonoran Desert Conservation Plan will be the standard that all future HCPss will be modeled after so the intent of the Endangered Species Act is adhered to!

Read the Seattle Post Intelligencer's special report on HCPs, "A License to Kill." This three-part special report documents how other conservation plans have fallen short of the intent of the Endangered Species Act. The SDCP and the Coalition for Sonoran Desert Protection are highlighted in the 3rd and final part of this series, and is the only positive article concerning HCPs.

You can also read up on specific HCPs at the following sites:
