about Coexist with Wildlife california
Who We Are
This year marks the 100th anniversary that the last California grizzly bear was spotted in Sequoia National Park, never to be seen again. This state icon is an example of the beautiful, native California wildlife that can too easily be lost.
To commemorate this anniversary, institutions from around the state are coming together to commemorate this anniversary through a public awareness campaign, Coexist with Wildlife, California.
This campaign will bring awareness to hundreds of native California species by highlighting 24 important species to protect in 2024.
Participating institutions will host different activation events throughout the year that will bring awareness but also inspire awareness that together, we can preserve space for wildlife in California.
By working together, we can ensure that our unique California landscape can thrive for generations to come and prevent more wildlife from following the same path as our state symbol.
Bring Coexist With Wildlife, CA to Life
Fresno Chaffee Zoo in partnership with fellow California Zoos and Aquariums members and other conservation organizations has joined efforts to commemorate this anniversary through a public awareness campaign, Coexist with Wildlife, California.
The kickoff of the campaign started on March 4th; Fresno Chaffee Zoo officials presented and passed a proclamation recognizing the Coexist with Wildlife, California Public Awareness Campaign. Throughout the year, they will also work to champion officials' support for the 30 x 30 initiative.
All these events will culminate on Labor Day weekend at Fresno Chaffee Zoo for Coexist with Wildlife, California Day on August 31st and throughout the state at various partners' locations.
Fresno Chaffee Zoo will also host a Delegate Summit in Sacramento on September 4th, 2024, where they hope to present the campaign's success to gain further support.
Fresno Chaffee Zoo is honored to lead the way on this campaign and hopes you join them to help bring awareness to the states magnificent wildlife.
