Bears, elk, sharks crown landmark wildlife surge.

The recovery and revival of more than a dozen major wildlife species in California could be one of greatest overlooked stories in a generation.

Wildlife species, including bears, elk, sharks, whales, eagles and others are at their highest populations in more than a century, a direct result of habitat protection and crackdowns on commercial take and poaching, according to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.

Bats’ nightly ‘fly out’ is spectacle to behold in Sacramento.

An elevated stretch of Interstate 80 between Davis and Sacramento, it was built to allow floods from the Sacramento River to surge unimpeded into nearby wetlands. Drivers may recall the causeway — if they recall it at all — as the raised, straight expanse of freeway separating Redrum Burger from the West Sacramento Ikea.

Dead elephant seal washed up on Piedras Blancas beach a reminder that nature can be cruel.

Elephant seals have two migrations each year, as far as 5,000 miles each time. The adult bulls have occupied the beach during the summer months, molting their skin and resting. They return to the ocean to forage and gain weight to get them through the breeding season. They will have bulked up with blubber when they return in December.

Biodiversity – The Variety of Life on Earth

Simply put, biodiversity is the variety of all living things in a given place.

California is the nation’s most populous state and home to more diverse species and ecosystems than anywhere in the U.S. It’s a global biodiversity hotspot, but that biodiversity is also disappearing at one of the highest rates. Direct action by all Californians can help reverse this trend.

September 7, 2019 marks the first official celebration of California Biodiversity Day, an annual event created last year to celebrate the state’s exceptional biodiversity and encourage actions to protect it.
