Celebrate California’s 5th Annual Biodiversity Day with More Than 60 Events at More Than 40 California State Parks

This year marks the fifth annual celebration of California Biodiversity Day since it was first established in 2018. Since then, several executive orders and other actions by the Newsom Administration – such as the Pathways to 30x30 strategy, California’s initiative to conserve 30 percent of lands and coastal waters by 2030 – have built on this foundation to understand and protect California’s unique and precious natural resources.

During CA Biodiversity Week, find and photograph at least 30 wild species in California. Your observations will automatically end up in this project!

Snapshot CalCoast

Snapshot CalCoast is June 17-July 9! Help us document California's incredible biodiversity on your own or at a bioblitz event near you.
For two weeks every year, the California Academy of Sciences—with support from the California Ocean Protection Council, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, and the MPA (Marine Protected Area) Collaborative Network, and many other partners—mobilizes communities from Del Norte to San Diego to make and share observations of plants, animals, and seaweeds along the California coast using the iNaturalist app. By creating a real-time, statewide snapshot of current species ranges, we're building a community of observers that provides valuable data for scientists at local, regional, and state levels, and answering targeted research questions in support of California Marine Protected Areas.
