The Challenge
A shocking 65% of salmonids headed toward extinction worldwide are found only in California. And 7 or 9 (or 78%) of these are inland living trout that may become extinct within the next 50-100 years if present trends continue.
The endangered Paiute Cutthroat
The threats are well-documented: increased competition with humans for resources, poor water quality, water mismanagement, barriers and water diversions, global warming and rising water temperatures.
Our Goal
To reestablish resilient populations of native inland trout which maintain the biodiversity and genetic integrity unique to California.
