Climate change is here and California is at a crossroads. We can take action or we can let life in our state become unbearable. We've already seen what's coming. From catastrophic megafires to a never ending drought, these disasters have become our new normal.
The Nature Conservancy has protected over a million acres in California and brought species back from the brink of extinction. We have a vision for a climate resilient California and we have a plan to make it a reality.
You are part of this plan. Two futures lie ahead, and you have a choice to make. Make it now.
