CIB advances partnerships and grows solutions to save, understand, and celebrate California’s remarkable diversity.
California is a global biodiversity hotspot, sustaining an unparalleled diversity of creatures and habitats. All are imperiled by climate change and drought, invasive species and pesticide proliferation, habitat destruction and wildfire. Join us to protect these amazing species!

Every day is #Biodiversity Day at CIB, but today we can all acknowledge #WorldBiodiversityDay2023. We urge #CALeg reps to support #IntertidalBiodiversity and other measures to protect our state's (and planet's) amazing, interconnected species:
There are so many places like Molok Luyuk in CA - unique places on the land and coast with special features that support #biodiversity:
GREAT NEWS! AB 57 has PASSED Assembly Appropriations and now continues to the Assembly Floor. Thanks for supporting this important measure! #CALeg #biodiversity
Big hearing tomorrow for #AB57 by #biodiversity champ Ash Kalra to start a Pocket Forest Initiative.
Pocket forests bring native trees & plants to urban areas: they improve air, reduce heat, & offer green spaces to play. We hope #CALeg Asm Approps is ready to pass this bill!
Crabs, crabs, crabs! At the California Institute for Biodiversity, we STRONGLY support #CoastalResilience #CABudget funds to protect the intertidal zone habitat of these clawed coastal critters and the countless species that call the California coastline home.
This beautiful, strange, fascinating, cute creature is a Hopkin's rose nudibranch, aka sea slug! It's part of CA's amazing #IntertidalBiodiversity we must preserve, protect, and record with a DNA barcode library database.
We're excited that the CA Senate has a plan to prioritize #CoastalResilience funds, which will help protect the habitats of our favorite nudibranches (and countless other species). We urge the Assembly to adopt the same plan!
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!
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.
