“bioGraphic is powered by the California Academy of Sciences, a renowned scientific and educational institution dedicated to exploring, explaining, and sustaining life on Earth.” Please stop by now and then and you will be inspired with what you see and what you learn about nature on this site. There is so much we need to work to preserve – even if we have not and may never see these animals, trees, or birds or other species directly. We are enriched individually and collective in protecting wildness. For our generation and those that come after us, there are many reasons to ensure that the environment and ecology of our country and around the world remains beyond the control of industry and government control.
