CEHMM is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation that has created a wide range of cutting edge programs that work toward practical solutions to issues that affect both human health and the environment. These projects serve the community, the region, and the state through cooperative conservation, educational outreach, job creation, and research leading to resolution of important technical and environmental challenges.
For several years the FWS, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), and CEHMM worked together to develop a candidate conservation agreement to programmatically address the needs of the LPC and the DSL and the potential impacts a listing could have on land users. Landmark legal agreements were signed by federal and state authorities on December 8, 2008. The Candidate Conservation Agreement (CCA) and its companion Candidate Conservation Agreement with Assurances (CCAA) provide a mechanism to conserve LPC and DSL habitats. These agreements allow FWS, BLM, and CEHMM to work in cooperation and consultation with private land owners and industry in support of conservation measures.
