The Catalina Island fox, a unique and vital species to the island’s ecosystem, faces ongoing threats like disease, habitat loss, and vehicle collisions, prompting the Catalina Island Conservancy to implement extensive conservation efforts, including population monitoring, vaccinations, and public awareness campaigns like “Slow Down for Fox Sake” to ensure their long-term survival.

A new initiative by the Catalina Island Conservancy, funded by the Hathaway family and partnered with the Boys & Girls Club of Metro Los Angeles, provided youth with a transformative three-day outdoor experience on Catalina Island, fostering environmental stewardship through activities like hiking, kayaking, marine science, and cultural education.

The Catalina Island Conservancy welcomes Adam Finck as its first-ever Chief of Programs, where he will lead conservation, education, recreation, and volunteer initiatives to scale the Conservancy’s impact and foster a climate-resilient island.
