These groups are organized by general interests (e.g., business and development, environment and culture, government agencies, and elected officials). The first round of stakeholder meetings occurred between February and April 2022. The first stakeholder meetings included presentations providing an overview of the federal and Guam Endangered Species Acts and the HCP process, updates on the development of the Guam HCP, and information about the proposed covered species (i.e., species for which take authorization is requested).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"related-links-and-documents#documents\">Click here<\/a> to view these presentations.<\/p>\n<p>The groups listed below have been identified as participants in the stakeholder groups.<\/p>\n<h3>Business and Development<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Ancestral Lands Commission<\/li>\n<li>Chamoru Land Trust<\/li>\n<li>Guam Contractors Association<\/li>\n<li>Guam Department of Land Management<\/li>\n<li>Guam Economic Development Authority (GEDA)<\/li>\n<li>Guam Hotel and Restaurant Association<\/li>\n<li>Guam Realtors Associations<\/li>\n<li>Guam Visitors Bureau<\/li>\n<li>Guam Strategic Development Regional Center<\/li>\n<li>Rotary Club<\/li>\n<li>Women\u2019s Chamber of Commerce<\/li>\n<li>Guam Chamber of Commerce<\/li>\n<li>IINXSS enterprises<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Environment and Culture<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Center for Biological Diversity\/Earthjustice<\/li>\n<li>Guam Nature Alliance<\/li>\n<li>Guam Preservation Trust<\/li>\n<li>Guam Youth Climate Strike<\/li>\n<li>Humtak Community Foundation<\/li>\n<li>I Hagan Famal\u00e5o\u2019an Gu\u00e5han<\/li>\n<li>Kumsion I Fino\u2019 CHamoru<\/li>\n<li>Prutehi Litekyan<\/li>\n<li>PCR Envrionmental<\/li>\n<li>EA Engineering<\/li>\n<li>Due\u00f1as, Camacho &amp;
