In this episode of Conservation Conversations we talk to Cris Sarabia, the President of the California Native Plant Society(www.CNPS.org) and an inspiring community leader in southern California. California is one of the world's 36 biodiversity hotspots. It has more native plant species than any other state in the U.S., and an entire web of life depends on those plants. It has something really special that is worth our protection and love. So, CNPS is dedicated to that. They do their work through conservation, education, gardening, plant science, and even a publishing arm. They have more than 10,000 members and 35 volunteer chapters across the state and Baja, so wherever you live, you can get involved locally in issues that truly matter globally. Native plant conservation is directly tied to and impacted by some of the biggest environmental issues of our time: the extinction crisis, climate change, wildfire... It's a really exciting way to make a difference. Enjoy our conversation with Cris! Special thanks t
