During their time in freshwater, many juveniles migrate back and forth seasonally between small streams and the Rogue River. The area may serve as a possible movement corridor connecting the introduced southern Cascade Pacific Fisher population to the native Northern California/Southern Oregon population.Limnanthes floccosa ssp. The region is designated by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature as one of only seven Areas of Global Biological Significance on the continent of North America and the KS has been proposed as both a World Heritage Site and UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.Advocate for the ancient forests and wild rivers of the Klamath-SiskiyouThe Klamath-Siskiyou region is home to the largest expanse of wildlands on the West Coast. Some of these pristine wild areas are protected under the Wilderness Act as Wilderness Areas, but many other wilderness-quality lands are unprotected and face a variety of threats including logging, road-building, over-grazing, and irresponsible off-road vehicle use. Instead of continuing the century-old practice of trying to suppress wildfires, we need to learn from the our native American forebears how to use controlled burns to keep our Klamath-Siskiyou forests healthy and biologically diverse.Wolves however represent a wonderful story of return. The ecoregion also boasts many unique invertebrates, although many of these are not as well studied as their plant counterparts.Near Roseburg, area includes a significant stretch of the North Umpqua River and its tributaries, and includes surrounding riparian and upland habitatsThe Klamath Mountains ecoregion covers much of southwestern Oregon, including the Umpqua Mountains, Siskiyou Mountains, and interior valleys and foothills between these and the Cascade Range.

But, somewhat surprisingly, a wide diversity can also be found across the varied habitats found inland depending on elevation, aspect, and geological character of the landscape.
Each is very different from the other and effort ought to be put out giving descriptions that would make people want to visit them. Climate change and destruction of habitat decrease both the range and availability of the Franklin’s favorite flowers.The Wild & Scenic Illinois River at Klondike CreekThese river systems support wild populations of salmon and steelhead, ancient sturgeon, and numerous other aquatic species.
