This is a critical moment for conservation. On November 5, California voters will have the chance to vote YES on the single largest publicly funded climate investment in state history—Prop. 4. As Save Mount Diablo expands our work to cover the whole Diablo Range, we’re focusing on San Benito County, a region of natural beauty and biodiversity—the heart of the Diablo Range. This year for our 2024 BioBlitzes, we traveled throughout the Diablo Range, cataloging wildlife and rare plants in remote areas. California condor, mountain lion, and tule elk were among the 837 species recorded this year. Read about all this, and more, in our 78th edition of the Diablo Watch.
