Mountains, ocean, and desert collide here to create the most biodiverse landscape in America at the crossroads of hostile worlds. For thousands of years, the cold Pacific Ocean, scorching desert, and snow-capped mountains created a tapestry of habitats bursting with life. Humans have been a part of this diversity for millennia, but just in the last two hundred years, our numbers have exploded. And the ability of modern humans to reshape the landscape to meet OUR needs has become virtually limitless. “Nature” in San Diego isn’t just the remnants of an ecosystem that once was… It’s an entirely new, human-constructed ecosystem that poses unique challenges and opportunities for the wild animals that share space with us.
