BOUQUET CANYON IS ONE OF THE RAREST HABITATS ON EARTH.
Endangered ecosystems like Bouquet Canyon and the Santa Clara River exist on less than 3% of the earth's land surface. The only other places it occurs are in coastal zones along the Mediterranean Sea, parts of Western & Southern Australia, the Chilean Coast and Capetown South Africa.
Worldwide, this kind of ecosystem is more threatened than the Rainforest. Wildfire is a significant threat.
The Santa Clara River flows approximately 100 miles from Acton, California to the Pacific Ocean. The Santa Clara is one of only two natural river systems remaining in Southern California, and was selected by American Rivers as one of the nation's most endangered rivers for 2005.
This riparian forest is home for a host of bird species, including the endangered Least Bell's Vireo. The decline of the Least Bell's Vireo is mostly due to an increase in grassland, probably due to wildfires. The unarmored threespine stickleback, a small endangered fish, inhabits the river's upper reaches -- San Francisquito Canyon, Soledad Canyon and Bouquet Canyon. The estuary supports the western snowy plover, least tern and tidewater goby, all federally listed as endangered. Overall, 14 resident bird species are listed as endangered or of special concern, and 6 plant species are endangered or candidates for listing.
