State Profile

California contains many of our nation's greatest natural treasures: from the Pacific coastal waters on the west to the Sierra Nevada range and Mono Lake on the east; to the redwood forests of the north, to the Salton Sea and southern California's beaches in the south. Our state is blessed with natural wonders, including a spectacular coastline, Lake Tahoe, Yosemite, the Kings River canyon, stately forest groves of sequoia, sugar pine, and oak, and magnificent desert wilderness areas in Death Valley, Joshua Tree, and the Mojave National Preserve. California also is blessed with the rich soil of the great Central Valley and a mild Mediterranean climate.

Because of this rich natural history and mild climate, more than 36 million people now call California home, and the population continues to grow by more than 500,000 people every year. Population growth is putting unsustainable pressure on virtually all of California's natural ecosystems, and has created a demand for water that has degraded many of the state's rivers and the agricultural productivity of the Owens River Valley.

As members of Republicans for Environmental Protection, we think that the Republican Party should reflect a conservation ethic that will provide for a healthy environment and responsible stewardship of our land and natural resources. California Republican leaders such as former Congressman Tom Campbell once held to that ethic. Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger does today. (Read our Winter '04 Green Elephant article about Governor Schwarzenegger.) We believe more California Republicans should follow their lead.
