The Center’s Urban Wildlands program works to halt sprawling urban development into adjacent wildlands to make sure big cats and other wildlife have the space and connectivity they need to thrive

The Center’s Urban Wildlands program works to halt sprawling urban development into adjacent wildlands to make sure big cats and other wildlife have the space and connectivity they need to thrive for the long term. Development in these vulnerable interface areas increases fire risk, car-dependency, and separates populations of wild animals including mountain lions.
