This is Your Climate Future

What happens in Tahoe, happens to California

Sierra Nevada forests are weakened, crowded, and under attack by drought, bark beetle, and wildfire. This impacts the entire state, country, and planet.

The Sierra is the primary source of drinking water to 67% of Californians, US Forest Service.
Sierra forests are home to 60% of California’s animal species, and one-third of them are rare, threatened, or endangered, according to the Department of Fish and Wildlife.
Wildfire smoke impacts the central nervous system and brain function, according to a study in Environmental Health Perspectives.
