Blog: Conserving California’s freshwater biodiversity under climate change
… In this California WaterBlog post, we summarize a recent PPIC report that describes innovations that will help the state protect native biodiversity under climate change. We propose the adoption of climate-smart conservation frameworks and tools in all efforts to protect and restore native species. This includes utilizing a portfolio of actions—some controversial and experimental—along with a willingness to take risks. We hope that this report inspires scientists, engineers, resource managers, decision makers, watershed groups, and many others to take urgent action before we lose our legacy of freshwater biodiversity.
