History
The Natural Community Conservation Planning Act (NCCP) is California's new approach to special status species conservation. The NCCP takes a ecosystem wide approach to species conservation. By protecting the functionality of an ecosystem, the NCCP is designed to form more robust protection plans then the previously utilized Habitat Conservation Plans (HCP). To accomplish this goal, NCCP emphasize scientific understanding, and promote an adaptive management approach to conservation. The NCCP was originally passed in as a pilot program for Southern California Coastal scrub habitat in 1991, the NCCP approach was approved for state wide application in 2003.
