    Protect Birds and Wildlife, Vote No on Prop 45

    In November, Californians will make an important decision:

    Continue to protect birds, other wildlife and human communities through the state’s most important environmental law OR… strip the law of its power and let corporate polluters off the hook.

    Prop 45 is a major threat to California birds and ecosystems: if passed it would severely restrict the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). CEQA not only keeps polluters accountable, it also allows citizens to weigh in on development projects that affect public health, the environment, and wildlife.

    Learn more about CEQA and how it saves birds from our recent Blog Post.

    Harm to Birds + Our Environment

    Prop 45 would fast track a wide range of projects through the environmental review process. Those include utility projects, dams, forest thinning, broadband infrastructure, roads, bridges, subdivisions and suburban sprawl, and much more.

    The Public Will Pay, Not Polluters.

    When polluters aren’t required to clean up their mess, taxpayers pay to remove cancer-causing chemicals from our drinking water and contaminated lands. The independent non-partisan Legislative Analyst’s Office estimates Prop 45 could cost taxpayers as much as $100 million every year.

    It Doesn’t Solve Our Housing Crisis

    Prop 45 will not streamline most urban housing, the majority of such projects were already exempted from CEQA under AB 130 (2025). Instead, the measure will encourage sprawl developments in remote, high wildfire-risk areas.

    silences community voices

    Today, we have a say in what’s built in our neighborhoods and near the habitat our birds need to survive. Under Prop 45, decisions about what gets built near our homes, our water supply, or on or near bird habitat, would be made with less information, less public input, and fewer ways to protect it.

    EBRPD District Plan Survey Call to Action

    ByRyan Nakano

    The East Bay Regional Park District (EBRPD) is preparing a new District Plan and is seeking public comment from Alameda and Contra Costa residents. Make your voices heard and stand up for birds and their habitat by completing the online survey by July 31, 2025. 

    The District Plan will be a high-level document,summarizing and mapping existing conditions, identifying trends, documenting staff and community input about the future of the Park District, and providing strategies and priorities to achieve the Park District’s vision. More information about the Plan and the EBRPD can be found on their website. 

    With over 126,000 acres of parklands and open space across 73 parks, representing all of our Bay Area ecosystems, these parks provide critical habitat for a huge range of plants and animals. There are many human uses of our park spaces that sometimes conflict with protecting this incredible biodiversity. It’s important that we all speak up for bird and wildlife habitat as we plan for the future of the regional parks. 

    You can consider these points when you complete the online survey. Note: your response will have more impact if you put them in your own words. 

    1. What is your vision for the future of regional parks in the East Bay?

    • Regional parks should be considered refuges for wildlife and biodiversity as they face the dual threats of habitat loss and climate change. Parklands and open spaces are critically important to providing habitat for wildlife including birds, insects, plants, and other animals, especially in our human-dense urban and suburban areas. Without habitat in regional parks, many indigenous plants and animals have nowhere else to go in the region. Protecting wildlife habitat and biodiversity should be the priority of the District Plan and EBRPD management strategies.
    • Long-term planning and vision should consider impacts of climate change on wildlife habitat. Regional parks should manage parkland to improve our resilience to climate impacts. Climate change will cause sea levels to rise, removing current shoreline habitat. Additionally, both fires and storms will become more frequent and severe, requiring creative management strategies to adapt. 
    • All operational decisions such as trail use and placement, recreational activities, vegetation management, placement of pet areas, new land acquisition, maintenance, and infrastructure, should prioritize protection of wildlife and biodiversity.
    • Regional parks should be places where East Bay residents can experience wild and thriving nature close to home, where low-impact activities are prioritized to protect ecosystems and wildlife.

  • Burrowing Owls

    ByRyan Nakano

    Burrowing Owls

    Burrowing Owls/Patricia Corapi

    The Western Burrowing Owl (Athene cunicularia) is a small, ground-dwelling species of owl found in North and South America. Native to open landscapes with low vegetation such as grasslands, prairies, and deserts, it nests in underground burrows abandoned by other animals.1 Southern populations of the Burrowing Owl are year-round residents; northern populations are migratory and fly south to overwinter in warmer conditions.  

    Human development-driven habitat loss coupled with population declines of burrowing mammals poses a serious threat to Burrowing Owl populations. Total Burrowing Owl numbers have dropped by at least 33% since 1965. The decline has been particularly steep in California, where numbers have fallen by 60% and coastal breeding populations have been  nearly extirpated.2 As a result, the Burrowing Owl has recently been designated as a candidate species for the threatened and endangered list under the California Endangered Species Act (CESA). As a candidate species, Burrowing Owls have the full protection of CESA while the listing process is finalized.

    Before extensive urban development, the San Francisco Bay Area’s coastal prairies and grassland provided habitat for both resident and migratory populations of Burrowing Owls. Now, however, the region hosts fewer than 25 resident breeding pairs and  a dwindling number of overwintering birds.3 Protecting the remaining habitat is critical to sustaining their populations and preventing local extinction in the Bay Area.

    Cesar Chavez Park in Berkeley has remained a Burrowing Owl overwintering ground for over three decades. In 2011, a fence was erected around the Burrowing Owl habitat to protect the owls from human disturbance. Burrowing owls are most likely to nest on open land with little to no visual obstruction4, and the low height and minimalistic design of the fence minimizes habitat disturbance to the owls while serving as a symbolic reminder for parkgoers – especially dog walkers – to be mindful of Burrowing Owl grounds. Although a more robust fence could offer more protection against people and their pets, it would inadvertently compromise Burrowing Owl safety by providing a perching area for known avian predators5 and obstructing the owls’ line of sight, which could discourage them from overwintering in Cesar Chavez Park.

    Golden Gate Bird Alliance has worked with the Berkeley Recreation, Parks and Waterfront Department since 2009 to maintain quality habitat for Burrowing Owls at Cesar Chavez and to monitor Burrowing Owl populations along the Berkeley waterfront. Our data, collected with the help of our volunteer monitoring program, has helped us better understand local Burrowing Owl needs and raise public awareness about their conservation.…

    In 2021, Golden Gate Bird Alliance and its allies successfully advocated to save the Alameda-Tesla property (Tesla Park) from off-road vehicle use. Now we need your help to convince the California State Parks Department to classify Tesla Park as a Reserve.

    Classifying the 3,100 acre site as a Reserve will ensure the parks department prioritizes protecting wildlife, habitat, and cultural and spiritual indigenous resources, while still allowing lower impact activities like; hiking, wildlife viewing, birdwatching, and educational tours.

    Tesla Park is home to 35 rare plant species, 7 sensitive vegetation communities and 50 special status wildlife species including the Golden Eagle, making it an important ecological site worth protecting.

    Let’s make Tesla Park the first State Park Reserve in the region!
