New episode of The Climate Dispatch! Listen at sc.org/climatedispatch or at the link in our bio!

A group of Silicon Valley billionaires says it has a bold vision for the future of California: a brand-new city built from the ground up on the Solano County prairie. But behind the glossy renderings and promises of sustainability lies a story of secretive land deals, political maneuvering, and growing concerns over public accountability.
In this episode, we investigate the California Forever project, examining the opaque tactics used to quietly acquire more than 50,000 acres of farmland, the allegations surrounding Flannery Associates’ efforts to sidestep meaningful public input, and the questions local residents and conservationists are asking about who gets to shape the future of the region.
We also explore what’s at stake for one of California’s rarest ecosystems. The proposed development sits alongside fragile vernal pool habitat that supports endangered and threatened species, including the California tiger salamander and vernal pool tadpole shrimp. As pressure to build accelerates, we ask whether these unique landscapes, and the wildlife that depends on them, can survive another wave of development.
Who gets to build the future? And who pays the price when it’s built in the dark?

Guests: Miguel Miguel, Director of Sierra Club California Elizabeth Patterson, Former Mayor of Benicia, CA
Featuring music from Clown Sounds

Have you heard of the Least Bell’s Vireo?
This special bird has been a federally endangered species since 1986 when there was only 300 pairs left due to factors such as habitat loss and brood parasitism by brown- headed cowbirds. Their population has been improving due to conservation efforts, with around 3,000
currently left.

Thanks as always to our volunteer Abby for her work on this series!

The Trump administration move to eliminate restrictions for killing grizzly bears is the latest in the administration’s campaign to weaken protections for wildlife, dismantle environmental safeguards, and open more public lands to industrial exploitation. 

Go to sc.org/grizzly-bears now and sign our petition demanding protections for these important creatures remain in place!

New episode of the Climate Dispatch is out! Listen wherever you get your podcasts or go to sc.org/climatedispatch

Last episode, we explored the Sacramento–San Joaquin River Delta, a beautiful and vital ecosystem that provides drinking water for 27 million people, supports millions of acres of farmland, and offers essential habitat for countless species.
But when the Delta’s waters are overtaxed, the consequences ripple outward: flow declines, water quality worsens, habitat is lost, and farmland is put at risk.
So why is the Delta Conveyance Project, also known as the Delta Tunnel, proposing to divert even more water? And will it actually strengthen California’s water security?
In this episode, we take a closer look at the history of the Delta Tunnel project, where it stands today, and what could be lost if it moves forward. In partnership with Restore the Delta, we also highlight ongoing restoration efforts and explore why investing in local water solutions is essential to building a more resilient water future.

Guests Morgen Snyder, Director of Policy and Programs, Restore The Delta Spencer Fern, Delta Science Program Manager, Restore The Delta John Zuckerman, Delta Farmer

President Donald Trump reduced the size of Grand Staircase-Escalante and Bears Ears National Monuments by roughly three million acres on Monday, or nearly 90% in size. These sacred, living landscapes include waterways, wildlife habitat, sacred sites, and places for recreation. Stewarded by Indigenous people since time immemorial, Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante are part of an interconnected Indigenous homeland. These monuments protect the water we drink and the air we breathe, so this decision impacts us all. We cannot let these lands and waters be forever decimated by mining and drilling! In the case of Bears Ears, weakening monument protections also affect years of work by the Coalition Tribes and federal agencies on collaborative management.  
Join voters across the country to speak up in defense of these monuments by contacting your member of Congress and urging them to oppose these attacks: Link in our bio or go to sc.org/DefendMonuments
