Animal rescue programs have also saved species such as the California bighorn sheep at Anza-Borrego Desert SP and the tule elk at Tule Elk SR from disappearing.

PRESERVING YOUR PARKS To protect this vast and varied heritage requires active management to repair damaged land- scapes and restore natural cycles. Unfortunately, human impact on California’s natural resources has been significant over the centuries, and our state parks also pay a price for their popularity. If the resources we enjoy and take for granted are to survive for future generations, we must all accept responsibility for their preservation.
