Animal crossing: world’s biggest wildlife bridge comes to California highway | Wildlife | The Guardian | Coastal Restoration | Scoop.it
Unprecedented overpass will allow fauna of the Santa Monica mountains to safely cross a dangerous 10-lane stretch
Sophia Scipione's insight:
Due to roads and freeways, conservation challenges have been a persistent problem in the Santa Monica Mountains. This corridor that is being constructed will allow species such as mountain lions to reconnect with their natural habitat without any barriers.

Sophia, im so glad someting like this is going to be so close to us, it would be super beneficial considering how dense our urban areas are. i just hope they are wise aboutt he plants chosen to populate this area, and that they go with resilient natives, especially considering the recent storms and erosion caused by it.
