The San Francisco Bay Area is a critical biodiversity hotspot, which means there are more plant and wildlife species threatened by habitat loss right here in the Bay Area than just about anywhere else in the country.

Tri-Valley Conservancy has approval from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife to hold habitat easements to provide threatened species and other wildlife with the protected resources and habitat management they need to survive.

Here in the East Bay, the coastal, mountain, and desert species co-mingle for habitat, food, travel, or finding that special someone to continue the species with.

In fact, one of the largest nesting populations of golden eagles, a federally protected species, is right here in the Tri-Valley.

Threatened burrowing owls and San Joquin kit fox, the smallest fox on the continent, are also native to the Tri-Valley area.
