The Future of Salmon: Restoring Wild Waters

California’s native salmon populations have declined to near extinction. Recovering these species will not only help revitalize our forests, the work will fortify some of California’s deepest cultural connections to nature. But what will the future of salmon look like? TNC is restoring salmon habitat up and down the North Coast, from critical birth streams to the estuaries and marine environments salmon need as they migrate out to sea. Find out how you can help make sure these amazing fish have a future in California.

The Future of Clean Energy: From the Desert to Your Living Room

How clean and green is the electricity that powers your house or your electric car? The answer to that question is changing every day. As California works to revolutionize our power system in the face of climate change, where we site renewable energy is just as important as the amount we produce. Clean energy shouldn’t come at the cost of the ecosystems we all rely on. We need it to be green too. Can California find space for nature, people and a clean energy future? The Nature Conservancy says yes.
