Wildlife Corridors & Habitat Fragmentation
CLAW Chair Tony Tucci brings item to LA City Council which will prevent City from inadvertently sell off environmentally sensitive hillside parcels.
CityWatch Los Angeles covers CLAW's work to protect LA's wildlife corridors, featuring CLAW Chair Tony Tucci.
"Developments in the Santa Monica Mountains, from Coldwater Canyon to Beverly Glen to Mulholland Drive, have chipped away at wildlife roaming territory for decades. That's why wildlife in Los Angeles is forced into residential areas where they are feared," said Alison Simard of the Citizens for Los Angeles Wildlife. "We've been incrementally giving away the space that are the lungs of our city," said Simard. "Progress isn't progress when we're destroying the very environments that keep us safe."
'Environmental and wildlife protection groups such as Citizens for Los Angeles Wildlife pushed Los Angeles to adopt the plan, saying it will help maintain genetic variation in urban species that might otherwise become isolated, and will reduce conflict with humans by preventing animals from being confined in residential neighborhoods."
