Save Mount Diablo is looking to hire a Land Use Advocate to deepen and expand our advocacy efforts furthering SMD’s land conservation mission for Mount Diablo and its entire Diablo Range. This mountain range is over 200 miles long, runs through 12 counties, and contains over 4 million acres, which are largely intact open space areas, of which only about 27 percent is currently protected. The Diablo Range is a critical wildlife habitat corridor, with species like California condors, tule elk, golden eagles, and numerous endemic plants. Over 10 million people live around the Diablo Range. Thus, the range provides California with one of its best opportunities to meet its 30×30 goals and help more people connect with nature. The mountain range is facing numerous threats (residential development proposals, energy exploration efforts, reservoir projects, etc.), but there are also opportunities (growing conservation partnerships for the range, introducing SMD to and engaging with decision makers in the central and southern Diablo Range, growing public awareness of the range, etc.) that an energetic Land Use Advocate will help SMD benefit from.
