Did you know you can help endangered species by making a voluntary donation to the Rare and Endangered Species Preservation Program? You can and you can also contribute to the California Sea Otter Fund while preparing your taxes. This can be tax deductible too. Past donations have helped protect hundreds of endangered plants and animals in California and several of these species have now been delisted. If more people donate, critical habitat can be conserved and enhanced and endangered species will be protected and monitored for the future.

The fossil fuel industry has misled people into thinking that climate change is a political issue and, therefore, impolite to discuss. It isn’t. Climate change is clearly a matter of physics/chemistry/biology: when we put additional greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, they form a blanket that traps heat. The increasing heat is wreaking havoc on our biological systems, including human civilization.

Considerable damage has been done with acres of mature trees and sensitive habitat removed but there is still a need to determine what mitigation and restoration should be implemented. Currently high water in the slough at Discovery Park is close to triggering erosion and sedimentation of exposed soils left without protection by PGE and upstream vegetation removal included sensitive VELB endangered species habitat.
