Mountain Lion Photographed in Wildlife Corridor Threatened by Los Angeles Development
L.A. County Supervisors Urged to Reconsider Plans to Block Wildlife Corridor
LOS ANGELES The Center for Biological Diversity and allies sent a letter to the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors today urging it to reconsider the controversial Northlake development after a mountain lion was photographed using a wildlife corridor that will be blocked by the development site.
County supervisors approved the project last year, after the developer claimed no mountain lions use the corridor.
The cougar photos were captured last month by a wildlife camera operated by the Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority, which is using a grant by the Wildlife Conservation Board to enhance habitat in the corridor.
