Conservation action definition

Conservation action. A conservation action is a management action that, when implemented, will partially or wholly achieve stated objectives for covered species or land cover types. Contaminants: Any undesirable physical, chemical, biological, or radiological substance present in water as a result of human activities. Emergent: In flooded or ponded areas, rooted, herbaceous vegetation with parts of the shoot both below and above water, including cattail and bulrush. Habitat: The specific places where the environmental conditions (i.e. physical and biological conditions) are present that are required to support occupancy by individuals or populations of relict leopard frogs. Habitat may be occupied (individuals or population of the species are, or have recently been, present) or unoccupied (see also “unoccupied habitat” and “potential habitat”).
Conservation action means an action identified in an RCIS whose implementation through an MCA would create credits to be used as compensatory mitigation. Actions would preserve or restore ecological resources including habitat, natural communities, ecological processes, and wildlife corridors to protect those resources permanently, and would provide for their perpetual management to help achieve one or more goals and objectives for one or more focal species or other conservation elements (California Department of Fish and Wildlife. 2017. Regional Conservation Investment Strategies Program Guidelines. June 5. Sacramento, CA).
Conservation action means an action to preserve or to restore ecological resources, including habitat, natural communities, ecological processes, and wildlife corridors, to protect those resources permanently, and to provide for their perpetual management, so as to help to achieve one or more biological goals and objectives for one or more focal species. Conservation actions may include, but are not limited to, actions to offset impacts to focal species.

Actions would preserve or restore ecological resources, including habitat, natural communities, ecological processes, and wildlife corridors, to protect those resources permanently, and would provide for their perpetual management so as to help to achieve one or more goals and objectives for one or more focal species or other conservation elements. “Habitat enhancement action” means an action identified in an RCIS that is intended to improve the quality of wildlife habitat, or to address risks or stressors to wildlife. It would have long-term durability but would not involve acquiring land or permanently protecting habitat. Examples of habitat enhancement actions include improving in-stream flows to benefit fish species, enhancing habitat connectivity, and controlling or eradicating invasive species. A habitat enhancement action that is implemented through an MCA would create credits to be used as compensatory mitigation.
