Endangered Habitats League: Dedicated to Ecosystem Protection and Sustainable Land Use

The California Condor is an endangered species.

The Endangered Habitats League (EHL) works to protect the sensitive and vulnerable ecosystems in Southern California. Another one of their goals is to protect sustainable land use for the current and future generations for all of the inhabitants.

Their three goals include:

  • Securing native landscapes where divers wildlife lives
  • Pushing towards sustainable human communities
  • Saving rural and agricultural lands from sprawl

Through strategic planning and collaboration, they are working to save nature.

Endangered Species in California

California is home to a lot of unique native species of plants, grasses, and animals. From the abalone to the grizzly bear to the California condor, amazing and unique animals are in danger of being completely wiped out from existence.

Some animals that have already become extinct in California include the Law’s diving goose, the southern Californian kit fox, the American lion, American bison, and the grizzly bear. Animals like the white abalone and the California condor are endangered.

EHL works to push towards saving animals and their natural environments from human impact. Many animals like sea lions, mountain lions and bobcats have had their habitats destroyed by humans moving too close or adding pollution.

The white abalone is also an endangered species in southern California.

Support EHL

The best way to give back to the Endangered Habitats League is through a donation. The foundation grants provide some funding – but the Endangered Habitats League is primarily dependent on donations from generous people. The funding covers travel, phone bills, legal help, insurance, etc. Contribute today to curb urban sprawl, push for environmentally-friendly policies and preserve habitats.

Donate today to the Endangered Habitats League.

You can contact Dan Silver, Executive Director at 213-804-2750 or email him at dsilverla@me.com. The Endangered Habitats League is located at 8424 Santa Monica Blvd. Suite A 592, Los Angeles, CA 90069.
