Mitigation Lands Balancing Development
and Preservation
The Wildlife Heritage Foundation plays a vital role in California’s mitigation landscape. We understand that development is a part of our state’s growth, but we believe it must be balanced with responsible environmental stewardship. Our mitigation lands provide a critical solution, allowing for necessary development while ensuring the permanent protection of valuable and unique habitats.
How Mitigation Works
When development projects impact sensitive habitats, developers are required to mitigate those impacts by preserving or restoring equivalent habitat elsewhere. The Wildlife Heritage Foundation works with developers, agencies, and landowners to:
- Identify and acquire high-quality mitigation lands.
- Implement science-based habitat restoration and management plans.
- Ensure long-term conservation and monitoring of these lands.
The Benefits of Mitigation Lands
- Protection of Special Status Species: Safeguarding endangered, threatened, and rare species from habitat loss and fragmentation.
- Preservation of Biodiversity: Maintaining the rich diversity of California’s flora and fauna.
- Ecological Function: Ensuring the continued functioning of vital ecosystems, including water filtration, carbon sequestration, and pollination.
- Human Well-being: Providing access to nature, enhancing recreational opportunities, and contributing to the overall quality of life.
- Sustainable Development: Creating a balance between economic growth and environmental protection.
