Year of last grizzly sighting in California by county
Did you know? Grizzlies were once common in California, but decades of hunting, killing, and persecution drove them out. The last California grizz was seen in 1924. One hundred years later, lawmakers have declared 2024 to be “the year of the grizzly.” Check our new visualization about the loss of these bears and then learn more about our work to bring grizzlies back to the Golden State: https://biodiv.us/CAgrizz. #BringBackTheBears #grizzlybear

About the Center:
The Center for Biological Diversity is a 501c3 nonprofit headquartered in Tucson, Arizona. At the Center, we believe that the welfare of human beings is deeply linked to nature — to the existence in our world of a vast diversity of wild animals and plants. Because diversity has intrinsic value, and because its loss impoverishes society, we work to secure a future for all species, great and small, hovering on the brink of extinction. We do so through science, law and creative media, with a focus on protecting the lands, waters and climate that species need to survive.
We want those who come after us to inherit a world where the wild is still alive.
