My kids need healthy air to breathe.

Saving the Salton Sea - Our Community Responds

 

Saving the Salton Sea: Our Community Responds Dear KAREN, I live in the community by the Salton Sea. We are breathing highly polluted and toxic air. I have a responsibility for my kids and the children of my community to have healthy air to breathe. Watch Saving the Salton Sea: A Community Responds to see our beautiful lake and learn why this means so much to me.  The Salton Sea is one of the most important places for birds in North America. As the Sea changes, we face losing a vital part of the Pacific Flyway for millions of birds and creating a toxic dust bowl that threatens the public health of more than a million Californians. We need a faster resolution for the Salton Sea. Audubon is a vital part of our community. You're invited to join the upcoming Salton Sea Summit and Birds at the Salton Sea Webinar to help us solve this crisis. Frank Ruiz Salton Sea Program Director Audubon California
