Point Blue’s 160 scientists work to reduce the impacts of climate change, habitat loss, and other environmental threats while developing nature-based solutions to benefit both wildlife and people. We partner with land and water managers, fishermen, ranchers, farmers, cities, counties, and others to improve the health of our planet. We work from the Sierra to the sea, across the Western Hemisphere and as far away as Antarctica, preparing for the changes—and challenges—ahead. Point Blue’s Rangeland Monitoring Network seeks to preserve the ecological value of rangelands and recommend conservation actions that enhance their function for people and wildlife. To accomplish this it seeks to understand and measure ecological function of rangelands and increase communication and collaboration among managers across California. The Rangeland Monitoring Network currently collects data from 25 counties covering a number of regions including the San Joaquin and Sacramento Valleys and the Central Coast. We assess ecological function by collecting information on birds, vegetation, and soil dynamic properties in a standardized way at each monitoring location.
