California is host to approximately 6,500 native plant species, many found nowhere else in the world.  Many of these species are currently listed as rare, threatened or endangered. Climate change has impacted the natural habitats of our native flora and fauna: planting and hardiness zones are changing, plants are leafing out and blooming earlier, birds and butterflies are breeding and migrating earlier, and wildlife species are shifting their ranges.

Protecting and nurturing a diverse flora and fauna is key to climate resilience. Adopting regenerative landscape practices such as choosing California natives first, providing water and shelter, using organic pest management and conserving or restoring natural areas and wildlife corridors will help to conserve valuable wildlife resources and restore damaged ecosystems.
