IT’S NOW OR NEVER
California’s biodiversity is essential. It sustains our food systems and delivers medical miracles. It cleans our water and air, strengthens resilience against fires and floods, and provides perspectives and pause that heal the body and lift the spirit.
And it’s vanishing at an unprecedented rate.
