For decades, ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ California has worked to protect birds, habitats, and the people who care about them. From the wetlands of San Francisco Bay to the shores of Mission Bay, from the agricultural landscapes of the Central Valley to the evolving ecosystems of the Salton Sea, our work spans the state. Through conservation efforts on working lands, habitat restoration along our coasts and in our deserts, and community-driven initiatives in places like Richardson Bay, Los Angeles, and the Salton Sea, we are building lasting solutions that benefit both people and wildlife. Our advocacy work drives policies that protect critical habitats, secure water for birds and communities, and advance climate resilience.
We advocate for science-based policies that:
Address the impacts of climate change on communities, wildlife, and landscapes
Protect California’s birds, habitats, and natural treasures
Expand access to nature for all Californians
Support underserved and climate-vulnerable communities
Secure funding for conservation through bipartisan efforts like Prop 4, the Climate Bond
