Scientific Research

Funding Needed: $37,233

In order to protect Yosemite it is vital we understand the environment on many different levels, from air and water quality to the impact of human activity on the park’s resources.

Without this vital research and data it would be impossible to make informed decisions about the future and in some cases prevent the loss of irreplaceable plants or animals.
