      <description> <![CDATA[Our scientists are always working hard behind the scenes at the Museum, but another important aspect of The Nat’s scientific efforts involves studying wildlife in the natural environment—this is called fieldwork. Fieldwork can look very different for scientists depending on their discipline, but the main idea is to observe and study wildlife and plants out in nature.]]></description>

      <description> <![CDATA[Nature is all around us in San Diego County: from coastal wetlands and canyon trails to neighborhood parks and open spaces. But access to nature and the healing benefits it can provide are not experienced equally across our region. We gathered feedback from over 500 people throughout San Diego County and the message was resoundingly clear: nature plays a vital role in our wellbeing. ]]></description>

      <description> <![CDATA[Scientific expeditions can be thought of as the first step in conservation—they are a way to gather baseline data on the plants and wildlife that exist in a specific area, which can then inform actions to protect it. Sierra de las Cacachilas is an extremely biodiverse and perhaps equally understudied area at the tip of the Baja California Peninsula, and our scientists visited this amazing place to learn all about it.]]></description>
