Strategic Habitat Conservation (SHC) is an adaptive management approach to conservation planning, implementation, and evaluation. SHC begins with biological planning, which involves setting measurable biological objectives, for selected species of fish, wildlife, and plants – these are our conservation targets. The first step in this process is to select a subset of species that can serve as surrogates for a broader array of biological outcomes. The Service is engaging partners and the public in this process.
The mission of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is working with
others to conserve, protect, and enhance fish, wildlife, plants and
their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American people.
