On January 7, 2025, what would become one of California's most destructive fires in history started just outside the Pacific Palisades neighborhood.?A perfect storm of the ignition site's proximity to housing developments, high winds and drought conditions led to 29 deaths, 16,000 structures burned and estimated economic losses of up to $275B.?Humans and wildlife across the region were exposed to high levels of VOCs in smoke and water sources were contaminated.? Learn more about the complex set of human, landscape and climactic conditions that led to this destructive fire by joining the Global Wildfire Collective webinar on March 20th! You'll get to hear from our charter members, Dr. Jon Keeley and Dr. Alexandra Dunya Syphard who study the wildland urban interface in Mediterranean climates such as Los Angeles.

关于我们
The Conservation Biology Institute (CBI) provides scientific expertise, social and technological innovations to support the conservation and recovery of biological diversity in its natural state through applied research, education, planning, and community service. We use GIS and remote sensing data to conduct assessments and planning in support of conservation and land use projects globally. We conduct research - alone or in collaboration with others - to actively seek creative new ways to address a wide range of ecological problems from endangered species to regional conservation planning. We develop innovative conservation tools, techniques, and analyses to help organizations, agencies, and companies utilize the best available conservation evidence. CBI is a non-profit 501(c)(3) founded in 1997 in Corvallis, Oregon with offices in California and Washington.

Help Preserve Environmental Data According to a New York Times analysis published on February 2, 2025, "more than 8,000 web pages across more than a dozen U.S. government websites have been taken down ... as federal agencies rush to heed President Trump’s orders.”? Already, reports of missing data related to “climate” and “resilience” have started flooding in.? Conservation Biology Institute 's Data Basin platform is well suited to host this type of spatially explicit data and it is free to use.? If you have a background in GIS and would be willing to volunteer your time toward collecting, curating and uploading data to Data Basin to aid in the effort to preserve important climate and ecological data, please contact us at [email protected] and we will be in touch about ways you can contribute to the effort.

Recently, CBI Associate, Dr. William Ripple, was quoted in a few different articles regarding the recent reintroduction of the Gray Wolf into Yellowstone National Park and the significantly positive effect it has had on the ecosystem. The study found a remarkable 1,500% increase in the incidence of willow along riparian zones in northern Yellowstone National Park, driven by the effects of elk population suppression. Dr. Ripple is a University Distinguished Professor of Ecology in the Department of Forest Ecosystems and Society at Oregon State University.?We are thrilled to hear that this 20 year project has delivered such extraordinary results! https://lnkd.in/gSBj7BWP #ConsBio #SaveOurPlanet #GrayWolf #GrayWolves #Yellowstone #YellowstoneNationalPark #TrophicCascades #Ecology #OregonStateUniversity #FoodChain #Conservation #Biology #ConservationBiology
