In 1995, scientists and educators united to launch a special effort to save California’s extraordinary biodiversity. For 25 years, the California Institute for Biodiversity has empowered teachers with cutting-edge biodiversity-focused curricula, powerful pedagogical tools, and intensive outdoor training workshops available.
Dozens of multi-day trainings empowered hundreds of teachers, who returned to schools throughout California to inspire thousands of young minds. One classroom at a time, child by child, they built a movement. Today we all are beneficiaries of that effort.
Today, California leads the nation with bold commitments to saving this global biodiversity hotspot. Our political leadership is driven by a growing public concern: yesterday’s students are now voters, and those voters demand change.
In 2021 CIB launches exciting plans for accomplishing even more over the next 25 years. Together, we will empower even more teachers, support and spotlight the partners and projects saving California's remarkable biodiversity, and advance grassroots and legislative action to secure a revolution in how we protect biodiversity today, for tomorrow.
