- 1California Starts Building Mountain Lion Wildlife Crossing at Joshua Tree▼California to build wildlife crossing for mountain lions in Joshua Tree National Park. The first phase is now underway
California has begun the first phase of a wildlife crossing for mountain lions at Joshua Tree National Park. The project aims to give the big cats a safe route across roads that cut through their habitat, reducing vehicle collisions and reconnecting separated populations. It adds to a growing effort in the state to protect wildlife with crossings over and under busy highways.
- 2California buys 640 acres to protect western Joshua trees●California acquired 640 acres near Pioneertown for western Joshua tree conservation; climate projections
California has acquired 640 acres of land near Pioneertown in the Mojave Desert for the conservation of the western Joshua tree, whose habitat is threatened by climate change. The purchase reflects the state's broader effort to protect the iconic species, with climate projections suggesting shrinking suitable habitat across the region in the coming decades.

Work has started near Joshua Tree National Park in California on a project intended to guide the design of wildlife crossings. The effort aims to gather information that will help planners build structures allowing animals to move safely across roads, reducing collisions and habitat fragmentation around the park.
- 4California Starts Building Mountain Lion Crossings at Joshua Tree▼California is building two wildlife crossings for mountain lions in Joshua Tree. The first phase is now underway
California has begun construction on two wildlife crossings designed to help mountain lions safely cross roads near Joshua Tree National Park, with the first phase of the project now underway. The crossings aim to reduce vehicle collisions and reconnect fragmented habitat for the big cats in the region.
- 5Joshua Tree wildlife crossings planned in Mojave Desert▼Joshua Tree wildlife crossings planned in California’s Mojave Desert to curb wildlife-vehicle collisions;
New wildlife crossings are being planned around Joshua Tree in California's Mojave Desert, aimed at reducing collisions between vehicles and animals such as desert bighorn sheep and tortoises. The structures would let wildlife safely cross roads cut through their habitat, protecting both animals and motorists in one of the state's busiest desert corridors.
- 6Wildlife crossings planned near Joshua Tree to protect desert animals●Joshua Tree wildlife crossings planned in California’s Mojave Desert to curb wildlife-vehicle collisions; two State Route 62 structures to protect bighorn sheep, mountain lions and bobcats with $6 million-plus funding
Two wildlife crossing structures are planned along State Route 62 in California's Mojave Desert, near Joshua Tree, with more than $6 million in funding. The projects aim to reduce collisions between vehicles and wildlife, protecting bighorn sheep, mountain lions and bobcats that move across the busy desert highway. The crossings are part of a broader push in California to reconnect fragmented habitats and make roads safer for both animals and drivers.
