Remember California’s Endangered Species at Tax Time
More than 300 of California’s native plant and animal species have been pushed to the brink of extinction.
You can help turn things around for them by making a voluntary, tax deductible contribution to the Rare and Endangered Species Preservation Program on Line 53 of the California State Tax Form.
California has more wildlife species than any other state in the United States and also has the greatest number of endemic species—species that occur nowhere else in the world. But many species are threatened by human-caused disturbances such as habitat loss, water management conflicts, invasive species, and climate change.
You can help protect California’s most precious resource—our wildlife—by donating just a few dollars on Line 53.

Line 53 helps California’s endangered species by conserving and enhancing critical habitat.
You can make a difference. Please help.
