Strategic Habitat Conservation

Welcome to the Strategic Habitat Conservation (SHC) Website.  This site will provide resources that will facilitate your understanding of SHC, tools to aid implementation and links to the persons and organizations involved in this important effort.  The scale and complexity of the challenges we face as a conservation community necessitate an emphasis on landscape-level approaches and vast collaboration among our diverse stakeholders.  SHC represents a continuing evolution of our organizational approach wherein planning, communication, and strong biological science drive our conservation priority-setting and implementation applying an adaptive management approach.

Through the SHC framework, we seek to ingrain a decision-making process that is iterative, responsive to change, and effective at defining desired biological outcomes and implementing the landscape-scale actions that will facilitate them.
