This conservation plan is the coming together and the coalition of a lot of issues that had the opportunity to germinate into what it is today, partly a Multi-Species Habitat Conservation Plan. A part of it is just a general conservation plan of many planning elements that the County has been involved in over a number of years.

What has been developed in Orange and San Diego County, Calif. are blueprints for other urbanizing communities committed to striking a balance between growth and development and environmental quality and its notion of livability. These plans successfully put in place conservation measures unprecedented in their scope and breadth and yet do so without compromising the economic vitality of the region.
