Puma P-22's fame inspired world's largest wildlife crossing

Original: P-22’s fame helped inspire the world’s largest wildlife crossing

P-22, the mountain lion that became famous for living in Los Angeles' Griffith Park, is credited with inspiring the world's largest wildlife crossing, the Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing over the 101 freeway near Agoura Hills. The cougar's isolated life in the small park highlighted how freeways fragment habitat, galvanising public support for the crossing, which aims to reconnect the Santa Monica Mountains for wildlife.

Why now: Ongoing attention to the crossing project and P-22's enduring legacy as a symbol of urban wildlife conservation keeps the story in the news.
