Abstract
The Balcones Canyonlands Conservation Plan, which aims to create a preservation system to protect several listed endangered species of Austin and Travis County, is considered to be the first ever landscape-scale multiple-species habitat conservation plan in the United States. Despite being initiated in 1988, it got the approval from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in 1996. The federal and local governments have funded the plan and enabled officials to acquire large tracts of biologically valuable land. It has, however, been observed that the plan is not going to conserve the biodiversity of the region in the long run.
