Our Community is at a Crossroads

For decades, the mule deer of Catalina Island have been a defining feature of our local landscape and heritage. However, recent shifts in environmental policy and management strategies have placed this population at risk. The Coalition to Save Catalina Island Deer Fund was established to advocate for science based conservation that prioritizes the welfare of these animals while maintaining the ecological health of the island.

The Need for Immediate Advocacy

Current data indicates that without a structured, well funded intervention, the deer population face unprecedented management challenges. Our organization requires resources to mobilize experts, engage in legal advocacy, and implement humane population management alternatives. We are currently operating with limited oversight, and your contribution provides the necessary backing to ensure these animals are treated with the respect they deserve.

Our Conservation Vision

Your support allows us to execute a comprehensive strategy focused on long term deer welfare:

Scientific Research: Funding independent biological assessments to determine the most humane carrying capacity for the island.
Advocacy and Education: Launching public awareness campaigns to inform the 1,000,000 annual visitors about the importance of deer conservation.
Policy Engagement: Working directly with local authorities to establish permanent, non lethal management protocols.

Your Impact and Results

When you give, you are directly investing in the preservation of Catalina's natural history. Every dollar contributed ensures that our team can remain on the ground, representing the interests of a species that cannot speak for itself. Your generosity makes it possible to maintain the delicate balance between the island's flora and its most iconic fauna.
