Endangered Habitats LeagueKeeping Southern California wild
Dedicated to the protection of the diverse ecosystems of Southern California — and to sensitive, sustainable land use for the benefit of all the region's inhabitants.
For the benefit of all the region's inhabitants — the wildlife that lives here, and the people who call this landscape home
From our mission
Four ways we protect the region
Saving Nature
We protect the habitats that define Southern California — coastal sage scrub, chaparral, oak woodland — and the wildlife that depends on them.
Strategic Planning
We shape regional conservation planning, guiding growth toward sensitive, sustainable land use across the region.
Collaboration
We work alongside public agencies, landowners, and fellow nonprofits to find solutions that last.
Land Trust
Through the Endangered Habitats Conservancy, we acquire and steward land in permanent protection.
