The Pacific Coast Joint Venture has been involved in conservation planning at many different geographic levels since its creation in 1991.

• Introduction to Pacific Coast Joint Venture Planning

Planning provides partners with a biological and geographic context to:

• develop and seek funds for conservation projects
• conduct strategic planning
• gauge the regional perspective of their local conservation actions

We are currently updating PCJV conservation plans based on updated geographic focal areas with population-based habitat objectives for focal species.
