Restoring Rare Plants on California's Channel Islands

Take a visual journey through the history of plant conservation on the Channel Islands.

California’s Channel Islands make up an archipelago of eight islands off the coast of Southern California. Often referred to as "The Galapagos of North America," their isolation coupled with unique climate, soils, and topography support a diverse range of flora and fauna, including many rare and endemic plant species found nowhere else on Earth.
