“The Nature Conservancy joins conservationists across and beyond California in commending the Catalina Island Conservancy for its leadership addressing this difficult and long-standing problem, and for the care they are putting into the planning so as to minimize impacts on the community. The dramatic and inspiring recovery of native plants and animals seen across all the other Channel Islands following removal of invasive herbivores affirms that this is the right – and necessary – thing to do.”
— Dr. Scott Morrison, Interim State Director The Nature Conservancy California
“Catalina is home to one of the world’s rarest plants, mountain mahogany, now known from only seven individuals in the wild. Without action, more species could go extinct.”
— Dr. Nick Jensen, California Native Plant Society
