The California Wildlife Conservation Board (WCB) has approved $70.14 million in grants that will fund environmental restoration projects which will help “restore and protect fish and wildlife habitat throughout California” (CDFW). These grants will fund three major projects to protect fish and wildlife. The first is the Point Blue Conservation Science project to apply restoration in the meadows of the California mountains. The second project is the Point Blue Conservation Science project to restore wildlife habitats on working lands. The third and final project is the California Association of Resource Conservation Districts project to protect wildlife habitats on public and private lands.
These restoration projects are crucial for maintaining and creating safe and healthy habitats for species. This money has gone to a perfect cause and Wildlife Conservation Board is doing a great job of putting money toward conserving California’s lands and waters. Pollution of our land and waters and climate change are destroying fish and wildlife habitats, and this restoration is necessary to protect them.
Happy to hear that money is being used in the right places! Do you think there should be more projects?
I’m glad to see that our aquatic and land-dwelling wildlife are going to be protected and restored. I wonder what kind of protections these areas are going to receive. I’m assuming it’s some sort of restriction on industrial pollution?
