About the Campaign

According to a 2019 UN report(opens in new tab) on species extinction, an estimated one million animal and plant species are now threatened with extinction, many within decades, more than ever before in human history. Still, there is a lot we can do to address the challenges facing listed species!

The Saving Species Together video series and educational campaign highlights collaboration between private land managers, resource agencies, non-profits, and the public to protect threatened and endangered species. By building conservation communities that include all stakeholders, we can come together to address the challenges facing listed species, making recovery more possible.

While this project focuses on stories of four threatened and endangered species at risk - Western snowy plover, San Joaquin kit fox, California tiger salamander, and Coho salmon – the information here can be applied to many species and habitats.

The project is a partnership between the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service(opens in new tab), and U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration(opens in new tab). Community service funds paid by the defendant in a federal securities fraud and wildlife violations case, United States of America v. Wildlife Management, LLC (N.D. Cal.)(opens in new tab) funded the project. The project was funded by the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation(opens in new tab).
