Starting in the year 2010, for the first time since the California Gold Rush, California-born residents made up the majority of the state's population. [209] Along with the rest of the United States, California's immigration pattern has also shifted over the course of the late 2000s to early 2010s. [210] Immigration from Latin American countries has dropped significantly with most immigrants now coming from Asia. [211] In total for 2011, there were 277,304 immigrants. Fifty-seven percent came from Asian countries versus 22% from Latin American countries. [211] Net immigration from Mexico, previously the most common country of origin for new immigrants, has dropped to zero / less than zero since more Mexican nationals are departing for their home country than immigrating.

California has historically been one of the most linguistically diverse areas in the world, with more than 70 indigenous languages derived from 64 root languages in six language families. [250] [251] A survey conducted between 2007 and 2009 identified 23 different indigenous languages among California farmworkers. [252] All of California's indigenous languages are endangered, although there are now efforts toward language revitalization. [note 6] California has the highest concentration nationwide of Chinese, Vietnamese and Punjabi speakers.

About 45 percent of the state's total surface area is covered by forests, [151] and California's diversity of pine species is unmatched by any other state. California contains more forestland than any other state except Alaska. Many of the trees in the California White Mountains are the oldest in the world; an individual bristlecone pine is over 5,000 years old. [152] [153] Putnam, Ruth (1917).

The state's crude oil and natural gas deposits are located in the Central Valley and along the coast, including the large Midway-Sunset Oil Field. Natural gas-fired power plants typically account for more than one-half of state electricity generation. Living in these diverse geographic areas, the indigenous peoples developed complex forms of ecosystem management, including forest gardening to ensure the regular availability of food and medicinal plants. [48] [49] This was a form of sustainable agriculture. [50] To mitigate destructive large wildfires from ravaging the natural environment, indigenous peoples developed a practice of controlled burning. [51] This practice was recognized for its benefits by the California government in 2022. [36] a b c Elassar, Alaa (April 3, 2022). "California once prohibited Native American fire practices.
