ABOUT US
With over 300 species of conservation concern and roughly half of the state’s population coexisting in coastal southern California, public-private partnerships are essential for effective conservation of the region’s biodiversity.
The California Wildlife Foundation established this website in coordination with the South Coast Region of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife to facilitate communication of public-private partner activities pertaining to specific conservation projects within the South Coast Ecoregion.
The contents and membership for each Project is administered separately by the person listed as the Project’s Administrator. Contact them for project specific information. If you wish to establish a project on this site, please contact:
