We're all dependent on our local ecosystems—and we all play a vital role in maintaining their delicate balance. San Diego is a biodiversity hotspot, one of the most biologically rich—and vulnerable—regions on Earth. Explore how you're making a difference for local ecosystems and wildlife, from high in the skies to the world under our feet, through our Southwest Conservation Hub.

SOARING TOGETHER
|
In 1982, only 22 California condors remained. With the support of wildlife allies like you, more than 500 soar over the Southwest today. Through 40 years of collaborative and cutting-edge conservation, you're bringing the largest birds flying across North America back to their native range.

ROOTING FOR THE FUTURE
|
As drought, bark beetle infestations, and the effects of climate change take their toll on Torrey pines, you're fueling collaborative efforts to save these critically endangered and local icons. Your support helps restore populations—with 244 seedlings planted in 2022—that are already putting down roots for the future of the species.

SLOW AND STEADY
|
Even with their thick, domed shells, critically endangered Mojave desert tortoises need protection—especially as hatchlings! Together, we're securing their future by headstarting the next generation, including the 69 little tortoises that hatched last year!

HOOT HOOT HOORAY
|
These tiny, charismatic San Diegans spend time both overhead and underground. In 2022, we reintroduced 48 western burrowing owls that were hatched and raised at the Safari Park into protected habitats—all part of our ongoing efforts to save this threatened species. With you by our side, we're ensuring that burrowing owls have a future for generations to come, right here in San Diego.

LEAPS AND BOUNDS
|
Last year, we reintroduced 300 critically endangered mountain yellow-legged frogs—and found tadpoles at a reintroduction site that hadn't been occupied by wild frogs since 2013! Tune in to our podcast, Amazing Wildlife, to hear about all you make possible for these local amphibians.

REVERSE THE RED
|
When we work together, we can change the world. Together, we're turning the trends and proving that committed collaboration saves species—from California condors in our own backyard to giant pandas across China's temperate forests, and beyond! We're proud to partner with Reverse the Red, a global movement dedicated to stopping biodiversity decline. As an ally, you are part of the solution. Discover how you can be a voice for change, and secure the future for wildlife and the ecosystems we all share around the globe.
