California Rangeland Conservation Coalition Focus Area Prioritization
"According to the California Rangeland Conservation Coalition, a conservation partnership of environmentalists, cattlemen, and government agencies, rangeleands represent one of the most threatened habitats throughout the Western U.S..  These Oak Savannah grassland habitats have relatively low levels of conservation management while maintaining high biodiversity values.  These areas are home to many grassland birds, native plants, and threatened vernal pool species.  The landscape benefits from responsibly grazing practices but privately owned rangelands face threats from low density, rural residential housing development and conversion to other uses." (CRCC, 2007)
