California is geographically the most diverse state in the U.S. I chose to depict a topographical map to celebrate and to better understand the incredible biodiversity of our state. We can travel from the highest peak in the Continental U.S. (Mt. Whitney, 14,505’) to the lowest point (Death Valley, -279’). We are blessed with a natural wonderland of ecosystems. Honoring and protecting our biodiversity and preciousness of all life in California is our responsibility.
