Conservation Opportunity Areas

Conservation Opportunity Areas (COAs) are places where broad fish and wildlife conservation goals would best be met. Focusing investments in these prioritized areas can increase the likelihood of long-term success, maximize effectiveness over larger landscapes, improve funding efficiency, and promote cooperative efforts across ownership boundaries.

COAs were developed to guide where to implement voluntary conservation actions in Oregon. Land use or other activities within these areas will not be subject to any new regulations. The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) COA map, dataset, and other information should only be used in ways consistent with these intentions.

For more information on what COAs are and how they were developed, see the  COA Methodology.
