It's no surprise to us that California is number 1 state for #biodiversity. We've spent this #EarthWeek in Sacramento for #PowerInNature -- rallying for #IntertidalBiodiversity and #CoastalResilience funds to protect and preserve our thousands of native species!

What Makes California the Most Biodiverse State in the Nation

The Golden State is home to about 6,500 types of plants, roughly 40 percent of which are found only within its borders.

Day one of #PowerInNature in Sacramento! Our coalition is urging California lawmakers at the #CALeg to protect our state's #biodiversity.

Our staff is additionally advocating for funds to document #IntertidalBiodiversity with a DNA barcode library, as is already underway for pollinators, fungi, arthropods, and soil.

California is a #biodiversity hotspot, but we're facing an extinction crisis. Tomorrow we'll be at the Capitol in Sacramento with the #PowerInNature Coalition, urging lawmakers to protect CA's ecosystems & imperiled species. #ProtectCalifornia #30x30CA #CaLeg

The waiting game and when you release the shutter: eventually, the lake and I were in sync and this is the result.

Then I walked to work. I had been standing on the breakwall for the better part of an hour.
