How to get involved

CNRG ("Synergy" - combined action or operation) is an alliance of local government and public agencies, labor, businesses, agriculture, forestry, mining, and development interests working together to address the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and critical habitat issues. CNRG believes that the participation of diverse stakeholders at all steps in the listing process is essential so that the ESA can be implemented in a coordinated, collaborative, and consensus-based manner.

Below are steps you can take to get involved.

Become informed.Become informed.
The first step toward taking action is to become fully informed. The California Natural Resources Group has made an effort to compile and maintain the most up-to-date information concerning the Endangered Species Act and Critical Habitat. But there are many other useful sources of information as well. Visit the resources section of this site to view a list of useful links.

Know what is happening in your area.
Getting involved in your area requires knowing what is going on. If you want to have your voice heard concerning Endangered Species Act designations and listings, you will want to know when they are being proposed. The Federal Register is a great resource for finding out what species are under consideration, where they are being considered and how you can comment on the proposed designation.


Contact Your Representative.
Your congressional members represent YOUR interests. Be sure to tell them what they are.

Support California Natural Resource Group's effort to improve the implementation of the ESA in a manner that protects species while addressing human and economic needs.
