Since California is a hot spot of biodiversity, we must always
consider the variety of plant communities that make our state so
diverse.  Each of our plant communities requires a different kind
of management for its preservation and the overall protection of
California's rich biota.  

In the interest of preserving California natural communities, I
request that you consider each community separately for its
distinctive characteristics and requirements for preservation. I
understand that you intend to place conifer forests and shrublands
into a single category. These two communities require completely
different management practices. It is important to bring in experts
who understand California's natural communities, so management
practices will be aligned with preservation needs...and
requirements for carbon sequestration, climate resilience, and
wildfire management. 

CARB needs to provide a separate category for shrublands, and
consult with recognized outside experts on appropriate management
strategies.  After scientifically, sound scenarios are
recirculated, a focus on conservation and restoration, carbon
sequestration, and climate resilience will be appropriate. We need
to protect the natural beauty and diversity of our state.  Thank
you for your time and considering my comments.
