Opinion: California is one of the most biodiverse places on the planet. Here’s why we are losing our biodiversity at an alarming rate.
California is one of the most biodiverse places on the planet, and the San Diego region is one of the most diverse in California, but we are losing our biodiversity at an alarming rate. The coming summer months and dry conditions are going to further hurt that richness of life here. Conserving our water resources directly and indirectly benefits our wildlife and is consistent with the overall conservation ethic in San Diego, which is why we need to prepare in case drought conditions worsen.
