The Coastal Corridor is home to incredible species—from mushrooms and shrubs to bees, fish, sparrows, and foxes. But every one of them faces challenges, from habitat loss to climate change. Protecting biodiversity means safeguarding the future of our coast. #BiodiversityWeek #CoastalCorridor

Say hello to the Gray Fox (Urocyon cinereoargenteus)! The only fox in North America that can climb trees, it thrives in SoCal's chaparral and scrub. With salt-and-pepper fur and a black-tipped tail, this nighttime hunter helps keep ecosystems balanced. #BiodiversityWeek #CoastalCorridor #Wildlife

🐦 Meet the Belding’s Savannah Sparrow (Passerculus sandwichensis beldingi)! This endangered subspecies stays year-round in California’s coastal salt marshes. Protecting salt marsh habitat means protecting this unique coastal songbird. 💚 #BiodiversityWeek #CoastalCorridor

🐟 Meet the Santa Ana Sucker (Catostomus santaanae)! This small, olive-gray fish is found only in Southern California rivers, including the Santa Ana. Safeguarding its habitat means safeguarding biodiversity in our own backyard. 💧 #BiodiversityWeek #SantaAnaRiver #CoastalCorridor

🍄 Say hello to the Oyster Mushroom! These fungi grow on decaying wood in layered clusters. With their fan-shaped caps and faint licorice-like scent, oyster mushrooms do more than catch the eye—they recycle nutrients and keep ecosystems moving. #BiodiversityWeek #CoastalCorridor
