Today California Floristic Province has 73,451 square km. The land is worth to

protect each year is 2.00 per square miles. That makes it cost to $14000 a year to keep up

with the basic needs(scidev, 2014). That is just basic there is always things that come up.

When you have animals and plants that are on the red list it makes the cost go up. It is

harder to replace those items then anything.

There are many things to be done to protect California Floristic Province. When it

comes to finding ways to fund things are actually easier then people think. I am part of

the fire department and we have a small budget but I find ways to fund our items all the

times that would work for thing.

To help against wildfires the local fire department would be able to help out with

getting the word out. They can go around the camp ground once a month and talk about

the right way to put out fires and what to do if something does happen. They also can do

an add and put in on TV. A lot of Fire department get the funding to do this and never

charge for this (wildlandfire, N.D).

Another way to fund to bring it back to life after the fire which we know always is

needed is FEMA. FEMA offers makes programs to help recover after a disaster happens.

It is said the average cost per square mile to fix or repair after a fire is cost to $7500(point

reyes, 2014). If we would go through FEMA after something would happen we would

have to cover a part of it. It all depends on a few factors on how much we would have to

cover.

Another way I could fund to protect the land ask for donation. A lot of the web

sights already do. This money would go to help the animals and make sure they have the

food and everything they need.
