The San Diego National Wildlife Refuge is located in southwestern San Diego County, and currently includes approximately 9,478 acres. Established in 1997, the San Diego Refuge will protect, enhance, and restore habitats for endangered species, migratory birds, and rare plants and animals found in a variety of habitats. It will help conserve the biological diversity of San Diego County and provide important habitat for a significant number of endangered birds. It has been designated a Globally Important Bird Area by the American Bird Conservancy. Most importantly, the refuge is the cornerstone of conservation and habitat protection efforts by the partners and cooperators of the State of California Natural Communities Conservation Planning Program and San Diego's Multiple Species Conservation Plan. These plans provide an umbrella for implementing recovery actions of sensitive species and reduce the need to list additional species in southwestern San Diego County.
