A brief description of the wildlife habitat program, policy, or practice:
UC Irvine manages a total of 721 acres of open space for the purpose of protecting wildlife habitat. Within the campus boundary, 135 acres are designated as permanent habitat within a cooperative management program that encompasses over 37,000 acres of habitat reserve known as the Natural Communities Conservation Planning (NCCP). UCI enrolled in the NCCP program, whose mission is to provide protection of habitat and wildlife diversity, in 1996.
UCI also manages 586 acres of open space off campus that are a part of the University of California Natural Reserve System. The 202 acre San Joaquin Marsh Reserve is adjacent to campus and is one of the last remnant wetlands of Orange County. UCI also manages two habitat areas outside Orange County, the 306 acre Burns Pinon Ridge Reserve in San Bernardino County and the 78 acre Steele/Burnand Anza Borrego Desert Research Center in San Diego County.
