Brown Jr. has signed an executive order to safeguard California\u2019s unique plants, animals and ecosystems which are threatened by climate change.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe new reality of climate change requires a more thoughtful and systemic approach that considers the connections and the vast web of relationships that tie together the myriad elements of California\u2019s ecosystems,\u201d Governor Brown wrote in the order.<\/p>\n<p>California is home to more species of plants and animals than any other state in the country.<\/p>\n<p>The deserts, forests, mountain ranges, valleys, wetlands, woodlands, rivers, estuaries, marine environments, rangelands and agricultural fields of California provide refuge for a vast array of species including approximately 650 species of birds, 220 mammals, 75 amphibians, 70 freshwater fish, over 100 marine fish and mammals and approximately 6,500 native plants \u2013 of which 2,000 or more are rare.<\/p>\n<p>Together, the state\u2019s plants and animals co-exist to create the complex ecosystems upon which so much of California\u2019s people and economy depend.<\/p>\n<p>This executive order directs the Department of Food and Agriculture and the Department of Fish and Wildlife to work together to safeguard existing plants and animals while restoring and protecting habitat across both working and wild places.<\/p>\n<p>The order also establishes September 7 as California Biodiversity Day each year.<\/p>\n<p>This action follows steps taken earlier this year to protect the state\u2019s biological heritage. The enacted 2018-19 state budget allocated $2.5 million to launch the California Biodiversity Initiative in partnership with tribal groups, educators and researchers, the private sector, philanthropic groups and landowners.
