BoardNew York State Department of Environmental Conservation Wildlife And Habitat Conservation Framework
The Wildlife and Habitat Conservation Framework, prepared by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, provides an approach for conserving biodiversity in the Hudson River Estuary Corridor. The framework identifies key plant and animal habitats, including coastal, wetlands, tributaries, unfragmented forests, open uplands, and caves/cliffs, and outlines strategies for their protection. It emphasizes collaborative partnerships, voluntary measures, and local involvement, with a focus on biological inventories, ecological research, land management, environmental quality, and education, to preserve the region's natural heritage for future generations.
