And How to Save Hollywood's Wildlife

In a city that loves celebrities, one mountain lion became the
mascot for conservation efforts that eventually led to the creation
of California’s first wildlife corridor. But one wildlife corridor,
even if it’s the largest in the world, isn’t enough. Some
populations of mountain lions in Southern California are struggling
to survive — threatened by habitat loss caused by urban
developments, lack of genetic diversity, and vehicle collisions. As
wildlife conservationists are working to save these endangered
mountain lion populations, another debate is ensuing over how to
include indigenous perspectives in the conservation efforts.
Because mountain lions aren’t the only native beings struggling to
survive in a world with an unchecked appetite for sprawl and
urbanization. Follow Desireé Reneé Martinez, Tongva Tribal
Archaeologist and the President of Cogstone Resource Management on
Facebook and LinkedIn and follow Miguel Ordeñana, Natural History
Museum wildlife biologist, and environmental educator on Instagram.
