A Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) is based on a law that allows developers to use land inhabited by endangered species in exchange for a promise to preserve critical habitat or provide replacement land nearby. ████ ███████████ ██ ██████████ ███████ ███ ████ ██ ██████ ███ ██████████ ██ ███ █████ ██ █████████ ████ ███████ ███ █████ █████████ ███████ ████ ██ ██████████ █████████████████ ███ ███████ ████ ████ █████ ████ ██ ███ ███████████ ████ ██████████ ███ █████ █████████ ██████ ██████ ████████ █████████████ █████ █████████ ████████ ██████ ██████ ████ ██ ████ ███████████ ████████████ ██ ████ ████
Habitat Conservation Plans (HCPs) allow developers to use land inhabited by endangered species in exchange for preserving some habitat or replacement land nearby. Some members of endangered species are lost, but the developer ensures that the remaining animals will be protected. Environmentalists like that HCPs secure compromise from developers. Developers prefer HCPs over more restrictive prohibitions.
Environmental laws should reflect a compromise between land developers and environmentalists.
