This abundant biological diversity, the measure of a region’s genetic, species, and ecosystem diversity, supports our well-being. California’s native plants, in particular, enrich our lives and sustain our environment by supporting wildlife, clean air and water, soil retention, and carbon storage, providing a helpful indicator of the health of the State’s biodiversity. California is the nation’s can-do state. It is technologically feasible and morally imperative to protect, restore, and conserve California’s native plants and animals, and the ecosystems that they support and thrive in for current and future generations. This charter enshrines our commitment to a future that advances long-term economic and environmental gains in harmony with a growing population and the need for resilience in the face of a changing climate. 174237:1https://nrm.dfg.ca.gov/FileHandler.ashx?DocumentID=174237Wed, 28 Aug 2019 14:30:23 -07002018-09-07T00:00:00California Biodiversity Initiative - The goal of this Biodiversity Initiative and Roadmap is to secure the future of California’s biodiversity. This goal is not a value judgment picking winners or losers between the environment and the economy. Securing biodiversity benefits the State’s short- and long-term environmental and economic health. The exceptional story of California is well known. California is home to a culture of innovation and creativity. We are a global leader in so many areas, including planning for climate change. We can also be world leaders for biodiversity conservation. 174236:1https://nrm.dfg.ca.gov/FileHandler.ashx?DocumentID=174236Wed, 28 Aug 2019 14:27:02 -07002018-09-07T00:00:00CLSConservation lecture series presentation, June 2019 - PDF of presentation given by Dr. Nasseer Idrisi as part of the Conservation Lecture Series in June 2019. 171244:2https://nrm.dfg.ca.gov/FileHandler.ashx?DocumentID=171244Tue, 30 Jul 2019 14:20:19 -07002019-07-01T00:00:00Conservation lecture series presentation, July 2019 - Presentation given by Dr. Laura Rogers-Bennett as part of the CDFW Conservation Lecture Series in July 2019.171245:1https://nrm.dfg.ca.gov/FileHandler.ashx?DocumentID=171245Tue, 30 Jul 2019 14:17:51 -07002019-07-01T00:00:00CDFW Scientific Integrity Policy - 154775:1https://nrm.dfg.ca.gov/FileHandler.ashx?DocumentID=154775Fri, 23 Feb 2018 08:51:57 -08002017-01-01T00:00:00Landscape fuel reduction, forest fire, and biophysical linkages to local habitat use and local persistence of fishers in Sierra Nevada mixed-conifer forests - Fire suppression and logging have contributed to major changes in California’s Sierra Nevada forests. Strategically placed landscape treatments are being used to reduce density of trees, shrubs, and surface fuels to limit wildfire intensity and spread, but may negatively impact fishers (Pekania pennanti). 133684:2https://nrm.dfg.ca.gov/FileHandler.ashx?DocumentID=133684Fri, 18 Nov 2016 09:55:49 -08002016-11-03T00:00:00Adaptive Management - Intended to serve as an informational resource, this document highlights statutory definitions, statements of policy and requirements that are relevant to CDFW's activities, and briefly summarizes descriptions of adaptive management in the technical literature.86989:5https://nrm.dfg.ca.gov/FileHandler.ashx?DocumentID=86989Wed, 13 Apr 2016 18:27:55 -07002014-07-02T00:00:00
