The Most Biodiverse Place in America
Submitted by John Fiske
Set in the sun-soaked canyons and coastlines of San Diego County, The Most Biodiverse Place in America is an intimate portrait of place, purpose, and generational connection. Told through the lens of John Fiske — a passionate naturalist and educator — and his sons Johnny and Charlie, the film explores the richest ecological county in the United States.
As father and sons move through chaparral, oak woodlands, snowy mountains, desert expanse, and coastal bluffs, they share a bond rooted in curiosity and care for the land. John’s decades of work protecting habitats and species comes alive in his mentorship of Johnny and Charlie, who see the future of conservation through their father’s eyes. Together, they reflect on what it means to grow up grounded — in a landscape teeming with life and in a legacy built on stewardship.
A story of biodiversity, family, and the fragile beauty of what surrounds us — if we choose to see it.
