    A conservation team walks toward a coastal release site at Vandenberg Space Force Base, Calif., to return four rehabilitated juvenile Pigeon Guillemots to the wild, Aug. 6, 2025. The coordinated effort, supported by Vandenberg’s environmental team, International Bird Rescue, and Point Blue Conservation Science, highlights ongoing collaboration to protect marine wildlife and ecosystems. The Department of the Air Force has been monitoring special status plant and wildlife species at Vandenberg for several decades with launch-specific monitoring occurring since the early 1980’s. Vandenberg has a dedicated environmental team of more than 40 personnel continuing that monitoring process and surveying natural resource resilience.
