Defending California
Despite being our nation’s most populous state, California still has vast stretches of wilderness. From the Pacific Ocean and coastal mountain ranges in the east, to the Sierra Nevada in the west, Cascade Range in the north, and the Tehachapi Mountains in the south, California is an area of rich and varied geography, encompassing lush rainforests, cold snow capped peaks, and hot, dry deserts.
California’s
population continues to grow and with that growth comes extensive development,
air and water pollution, and threats to the natural environment. Californians long history of environmental
stewardship remains strong. Representing
California-based conservation organizations, local governments and individuals, the Western Environmental Law Center is working to protect California’s
wild places and ensure the health of Californian communities.
