We encourage involvement in the democratic process to defend our environmental heritage - water, air, biodiversity, and genetic variability - known as 'the commons.' Conserving our commons is undeniably linked to the quality of our own lives - our health and the health of ecosystems. We work to preserve our natural areas, protect wildlife and promote sustainable policies using education and informed discussion." - Britt Bailey, Director What is the Environmental Commons?

Spotlight on Diversity Floristic Provinces Look at a map and find the intersection of Kern, Tulare, and Inyo Counties you will be looking at a transition zone of amazing diversity. The Holarctic Kingdom of North America contains ten Floristic Provinces which are defined as regions where at least 50% of the species are endemic. “Endemic” signifies that a species has a limited geographic distribution. The terms floristic provinces, biotas and biomes are virtually the same. All are defined as unique assemblages of floras and faunas associated with a specific climate and geographic region. Bioregions are more narrowly defined regions that are restricted by specific types of plants and animals although the number and description keeps changing depending on which group you speak with (which is why I choose not to use the term).
