Advanced Inquiry Program (AIP) graduate student Grace Ali created a biological art-stream video series on three threatened/endangered species from each region of California’s San Bernardino County: the deserts, mountains, and valleys. The videos were created by Ali, along with her brother and her brother’s fiancée.

The desert region video focuses on the:

• Desert Tortoise
• Mojave Tarplant
• Mohave Ground Squirrel

The mountain region video focuses on the:

• Mountain Yellow-Legged Frog
• Southern Rubber Boa
• Big Bear Valley Sandwort

The valley region video sheds light on the: 

• Delhi Sands Flower-Loving Fly
• Santa Ana River Woolystar
• San Bernardino Kangaroo Rat

Ali, who lives in Highland, California, is working on her biology master's degree through the AIP with experiential learning at Brookfield Zoo Chicago. She currently works as a daily trail guide for American Outdoor Education and a recreation worker for Thousand Pines Christian Camp and Conference Center in Crestline, California, and volunteers for the San Bernardino County Museum in Redlands, California, and The Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens in San Marino, California.
