California Starts Wildlife Crossing for Joshua Tree Mountain Lions
Original: 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 project for mountain lions in Joshua Tree National Park. The crossing is designed to let the big cats safely traverse roads fragmented by traffic, reducing vehicle collisions and reconnecting habitats. The project is being welcomed as a model for protecting wildlife corridors in a state where mountain lion populations face growing pressure from development and highways.
Why now: Conservation infrastructure for endangered mountain lions is a positive environmental story drawing attention amid growing concern over wildlife-vehicle collisions.
