Save the Redwoods League Buys Lost Coast Redwoods, the Longest Stretch of Privately Owned Shoreline in the Coast Redwood Range

Save the Redwoods League

Save the Redwoods League today announced that it has purchased the 3,181-acre Lost Coast Redwoods property in Mendocino County from timberland owner Soper Company for $36.9 million. After negotiating the rare opportunity to protect 5 miles of privately owned coastline in November 2021, the League raised $19 million in private donations from 4,884 individuals and foundations from across the United States and 10 other countries. Raising this much funding in less than two months is a record for the nonprofit organization. Loans and other financing enabled the League to finalize the purchase in the seller’s required timeframe. The League will continue fundraising in 2022, seeking public and private funding to repay the loans and support the permanent protection, restoration and stewardship of the property. Leading that effort is a new challenge grant from the Goodman Family Foundation that will match new donations dollar-for-dollar up to $1 million through March 31. “Adding 5 miles of spectacular shoreline and thousands of acres of redwood forest to California’s protected coast is an extraordinary investment in our future,” said Sam Hodder, president and CEO of Save the Redwoods League. “With people from around the world offering their generous support, it’s clear that the public cares deeply about the beauty and wildness of California’s coastline and redwood forests.” “Now that we have removed the immediate threat of timber harvesting and development,” Hodder continued, “the work begins to complete the conservation vision, secure full funding and work with our tribal, state and federal partners to add this land to the protected mosaic of California’s Lost Coast.” With the purchase of the property, the League can now begin to restore the former timberland, explore opportunities to expand public access to the famed Lost Coast and identify a permanent steward. About Lost Coast Redwoods The 3,181-acre Lost Coast Redwoods property includes 5 miles of shoreline and an expansive 2,250-acre forest. Though most of the property had been aggressively logged in prior decades, second-growth coast redwoods, Douglas-fir and grand fir ranging in age from 80 to 100 years, make up a significant portion of the forest, with large old-growth trees scattered throughout. The property supports abundant habitat for coho salmon and steelhead trout, culturally and ecologically important species that are protected under the Endangered Species Act. This property is also home to Roosevelt elk, black-tailed deer and mountain lions. Offshore, the recently designated Double Cone Rock State Marine Conservation Area buffers this sensitive coastline and protects sea lions and other marine life along the undeveloped shoreline. The islands offshore, including Vizcaino Rock, support more than 11,500 nesting seabirds. Potential Future Public Access Along the Lost Coast Protection of Lost Coast Redwoods and its 5 miles of iconic California coastline at the southern gateway to the 57-mile-long undeveloped Lost Coast is a critical investment in California’s biodiversity, climate resilience and equitable access to nature. Lost Coast Redwoods is adjacent to the League’s Shady Dell property and within a quarter-mile of its Cape Vizcaino property. This connectivity offers the potential for the League and its partners to expand public access in the area and extend the famed Lost Coast Trail southward from Shady Dell. *** The public can learn more about Lost Coast Redwoods and donate to support its protection and stewardship on the Save the Redwoods League website.

NO DOGS LEFT BEHIND EVACUATES 40 DOG MEAT TRADE SURVIVORS TO TORONTO JUST IN TIME TO RING IN THE NEW YEAR!

No Dogs Left Behind

No Dogs Left Behind (NDLB) is thrilled to announce its fifth and final transport of dog meat trade survivors of 2021 into Canada. This fifth flight includes 40 survivors from East Asia and they will arrive just in time to ring in the New Year! These survivors will be welcomed into Toronto by the NDLB Team in Canada and their Canadian adopters. The dogs waiting to be united with their American adopters will either be moved to the NDLB Safe House or picked up by their Canadian fosters. Today is a significant day for Jeffrey Beri, the Founder of No Dogs Left Behind. “We have successfully evacuated all of our adopted and sponsored survivors! It’s the best New Year’s gift I can give!” says Beri. All of the dogs rescued have been pulled directly from slaughterhouses, wet markets and traffickers in East Asia. Many were rescued with their collars still on, a telltale sign that they were once beloved family pets that were stolen from their homes. Rescue is just the first step in a long road to recovery. Once rescued, No Dogs Left Behind treats and rehabilitates these dog meat trade survivors and then finds them forever loving homes. “We are so incredibly grateful to our adopters and sponsors for their support. This has been an incredibly difficult year given the ongoing transport challenges imposed by the Covid pandemic, and then the ban on the importation of these dogs into the United States,” says Beri. Despite all of the obstacles, Beri has remained true to his word and has successfully transported all of the adopted and sponsored dogs to freedom. Beri founded No Dogs Left Behind in 2016 with the mission to empty every slaughter cage in East Asia through its boots on the ground work with local activists and allies. In November 2021, they opened their first Safe House on Canadian soil in response to the U.S. ban on dogs from 113 countries. No Dogs Left Behind works day in and day out to create a sustainable solution for animal welfare by working with the local community in East Asia. The mission extends beyond borders worldwide advocating for the creation and enforcement of animal welfare laws and raising awareness for a cruelty-free, sustainable world in which no animal is violated, exploited, tortured or slaughtered for commercial use or profit. Urgent funds are needed to continue its fight on the front lines. Learn more about No Dogs Left Behind by visiting their website here or by following them on Facebook, Instagram and sharing their posts. You can also donate here to support their mission. About No Dogs Left Behind: No Dogs Left Behind operates boots on the ground in East Asia, fighting on the frontlines to rescue dogs from the illegal dogmeat trade. We work hands-on with local activists through emergency response, pulling dogs directly from slaughterhouses, dogmeat trucks, wet markets and traffickers. Our mission extends beyond borders, advocating for the creation and enforcement of animal welfare laws, and raising awareness for a cruelty-free, sustainable world in which no animal is violated, exploited, tortured or slaughtered for commercial goods or profit. With nearly 500 survivors in our care, No Dogs Left Behind operates sanctuaries in Dayi and Gongyi in East Asia. Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Twitter, and TikTok.

MEDIA ALERT: More than $15 Million Raised Toward Permanent Protection of Lost Coast Redwoods Property

Save the Redwoods League

Save the Redwoods League has raised more than $15 million since it announced plans to purchase Lost Coast Redwoods. The 3,181-acre property spans 5 miles of rugged, undeveloped Northern California coastline in Mendocino County, and it has an expansive coast redwood forest of more than 2,250 acres. “We are inspired by the outpouring of generosity and enthusiasm for protecting Lost Coast Redwoods, a place that will be an iconic part of California’s landscape for generations to come,” said Sam Hodder, president and CEO of Save the Redwoods League. “Raising $15 million from supporters from across the country in a matter of weeks is a record for our organization. But we can’t rest on our laurels just yet. I invite everyone who shares our commitment to a healthy future for the redwoods and the California coast to help us reach this ambitious goal by December 31st.” Save the Redwoods League secured an agreement to purchase the Lost Coast Redwoods property for $36.9 million, and it is seeking to raise a total of $43.4 million in public and private funding in support of the acquisition, restoration and stewardship of the property. News of this rare opportunity has inspired thousands of individuals across the U.S. and from six different countries, including New Zealand, Ecuador, Canada, Great Britain and Australia to make contributions towards the purchase. Several supporters have made commitments of $1 million or more. Fundraising will continue through and beyond December 31. The property supports abundant habitat for coho salmon and steelhead trout, culturally and ecologically important species that are protected under the Endangered Species Act.
