The San Diego region is a "hot spot" for biodiversity and species endangerment, containing more rare, threatened, and endangered species than any comparable land area in the continental United States.

A significant part of our region's quality of life depends upon our environmental health. Protecting our natural resources and reducing urban sprawl are important for today's residents and future generations.

Coordinated habitat conservation programs are underway to set aside thousands of acres for the long-term preservation of native plant and animal species.

California’s Natural Community Conservation Planning Act sets the stage for regional cooperation by emphasizing the role of local governments in the process of protecting multiple habitats.

The Multiple Habitat Conservation Program focuses on habitat conservation in the seven north county cities.

SANDAG will work with local jurisdictions, wildlife agencies, the building industry, and environmental groups in an effort to set aside open space and protect our environment.

Develop and maintain databases related to sensitive lands to support habitat conservation planning, tracking habitat losses and gains, and monitoring habitat quality and ecosystem health.
