The Center for Biological Diversity is actively opposing "California Forever," a proposed 55,000-acre city in Solano County. This development threatens the climate crisis, existing communities, and approximately 130 rare animal and plant species.

Our recent webinar detailed the project's potential impacts on local wildlife, residents, groundwater, air quality, and California's climate commitments. We advocate for smarter land-use policies prioritizing community and environmental health. Explore more: Solano Together, Center's California Forever work, and "The True Cost of Sprawl" report.
