The DRECP comprehensively addresses how participating entities with jurisdiction over renewable energy and transmission projects and related facilities in the deserts of CA will conserve natural communities and species pursuant to the California Natural Community Conservation Planning Act (NCCP Act) and Federal Endangered Species Act. The DRECP is a proposed multi-species plan intended to conserve threatened and endangered species and natural communities in the Mojave and Colorado Desert regions of southern CA, while also facilitating the timely permitting of renewable energy projects to help meet the State's goal of providing at least 33 percent of electricity generation through renewable energy by 2020 and the Federal government's goal of increasing renewable energy generation of public land.
