Bill > ACR107

This concurrent resolution recognizes the Diablo Range, a 200-mile-long mountain range spanning 12 California counties, as a significant landscape with multiple environmental, cultural, and recreational values. The resolution highlights the range's importance as a critical wildlife habitat corridor supporting diverse species like the California condor and golden eagle, and notes its proximity to over 10 million people in surrounding communities. The Diablo Range is identified as a key asset in California's efforts to meet its 30x30 conservation goal (preserving 30% of lands and coastal waters by 2030), offering benefits such as carbon sequestration, flood mitigation, and groundwater recharge. The resolution commends the Natural Resources Agency and various stakeholders for their efforts to raise awareness about the range's ecological and cultural significance, and suggests potential future designation as a national monument. By drawing attention to the Diablo Range's extensive 3.5 million acres of diverse lands, the resolution aims to promote conservation, strategic land management, and increased public engagement with this unique natural landscape.
