Private Land Conservation Idaho possesses private land conservation programs to protect land for wildlife. For example, conservation easements are authorized by statute, and land used for wildlife habitat is eligible for property tax reductions. Landowners can also get assistance in enforcing restrictions on the use of motor vehicles on their lands when the restrictions protect wildlife or wildlife habitat. Exotic Species Idaho has some provisions designed to control the introduction and spread of exotic species. For example, a permit is required to import or release any species of wildlife into the state.

Plants are regulated through noxious weed provisions that require inspection of seeds, landowner responsibility and quarantine authority. Activities Idaho's animal damage control program is run primarily by the federal government, although some responsibilities are split between federal and state agents. For example, the state responds to big game as well as health problems with lions and bears. The federal government controls most migratory bird problems, rodent problems and livestock depredations.
