1 Bandera Corridor Conservation Bank: a conservation story 2016 Golden-cheeked Warbler and Black-capped Vireo Symposium January 28, 2016
2 What is a Conservation Bank? A site or suite of sites containing natural resource values that are conserved and managed in perpetuity for specified endangered, threatened, or other at-risk species, used to offset impacts occurring elsewhere to the same type of resource (e.g., in-kind compensatory offsets). The size of the site is sufficient enough that a bank typically consolidates the mitigation needs of two or more permit authorizations. Creation of a conservation bank requires collaboration of the public, private, and non-profit sectors to be done well.
3 Types of Conservation Banks Depending upon the species being conserved, conservation banks typically fall into one of three categories: Preservation Restoration/Enhancement Creation
4 Typical Components of a Conservation Bank Willing landowner Proper site selection Presence of the species being conserved Adequate habitat or number of individuals Long-term adaptive management & monitoring plan Long-term financial assurances Creation of a bank agreement with USFWS Subordination or limiting of other property interests Third-party conservation easement in perpetuity
5 Who and What Governs Creation of a Conservation Bank? Conservation Banks are created in response to Section 2 of the 1973 Endangered Species Act to offset and compensate for actions permitted under Section 7 and Section 10 US Fish and Wildlife Service and National Marine Fisheries Service provide regulatory oversight under ESA Species recovery plans 1996 Habitat Conservation Planning and Incidental Take Permit Processing Handbook 2003 Guidance for the Establishment, Use, and Operation of Conservation Banks Regional and local species-specific guidance documents Applicable state & local laws
6 What Governs Operation of a Conservation Bank? The executed Conservation Bank Agreement between the banker and the Service. Establishment criteria Management & monitoring plan Terms & conditions of conservation easement Financial commitments & assurances Service Area
7 Number of Conservation Banks 154 Conservation Banks >100,000 acres >60 species
