Product Description
California is one of the world’s most geographically and biologically diverse regions, but this diversity is under constant threat as a result of human activity. Habitats Alive!, a production of the California Institute for Biodiversity and the Rancho Santa Ana Botanical Garden, is designed to educate citizens about these amazing places in our trust and their importance to us all. This volume is brimming with tantalizing information about our state’s natural areas, and it is the perfect resource for any hiker, naturalist, scientist, or curious California resident. Be inspired by California’s incredible biodiversity!
In Habitats Alive! you will find:
-Overviews of 53 different California habitats, from Montane Chaparral to Desert Wash
to Rocky Intertidal
-Details on where each habitat can be found, how it got there, local plants and animals,
and resources for further investigation
-Pages of additional information on plant and animal adaptations, human footprint (both
present-day Californians and historical California Indian communities), climate, eco-facts,
and what people are doing to keep these places protected
