At the Center for Biological Diversity, we believe that the welfare of human beings is deeply linked to nature — to the existence in our world of a vast diversity of wild animals and plants. Because diversity has intrinsic value, and because its loss impoverishes society, we work to secure a future for all species, great and small, hovering on the brink of extinction. We do so through science, law and creative media, with a focus on protecting the lands, waters and climate that species need to survive. We want those who come after us to inherit a world where the wild is still alive.

The mission of the Center for Plant Conservation is to ensure stewardship of imperiled native plants.

Committee for Green Foothills works to protect open space, farmland, and natural resources in San Mateo and Santa Clara Counties through advocacy, education, and grassroots action.

With a changing climate, predicted extreme weather events, and limits on our planet’s natural resources, our consistent voice for healthy, working ecosystems may be our best investment in the future.

The problem is known. The solution is known. The funding is available through Amendment 1. All that's missing is the political will to make it happen.
