Sonny Bono Salton Sea National Wildlife Refuge

The Salton Sea sits in California’s desert as a critical stopover for millions of migratory birds along the Pacific Flyway. This refuge protects over 400 bird species in one of the most important avian habitats in the western United States. It’s harsh, it’s overlooked, and it’s absolutely vital. While others chase famous wildlife destinations, this refuge quietly does the work—providing sanctuary in an unforgiving landscape. Rep a refuge that proves conservation happens in unexpected places.
