Biodiversity First Inc

BDF!’s goal, whether through education, or public pressure, is to protect and preserve California species, habitats, migratory corridors, waterways, and surface and groundwater basins for the benefit of the biological biota as well as present and future generations of Homo sapiens. BDF! is a 501c3 non-profit, all volunteer organization, with 100% of proceeds working to achieve their goals. BDF! depend on generous donors like yourselves to continue this fight. 

In times of great suffering and challenge to Earth, there emerge human beings who are called to serve and protect her Body. Biodiversity First! is one such emergent group of volunteers. Here in Central California, where great herds of tule elk and pronghorn antelope once raised enormous clouds of dust as they migrated across the Serengeti of the West, their stock is diminished and their very existence is threatened. The sacred California condor, the golden eagle, Swanson’s hawk, peregrine falcon: all need space to soar, to feed, to nest and breed. The tiny titmouse, the blunt-nosed leopard lizard, the shy kangaroo rat – all live together in commingled habitat, each dependent upon the others’ survival. Biodiversity First! is committed to speaking for them.

All volunteers are seasoned environmental activists who are committed to preserving biodiversity. Of what use will development be if humans are the only species left? We need to recognize that we are but one species among many – that our actions have caused the world crisis, and that only our actions can help to avert what we have put into play. Each member of Biodiversity First!’s Board contributes unique skills and original perspectives toward the fierce defense of life in these challenging times on Earth.
