The National Wildlife Federation’s #SaveLACougars Campaign and partners are embarking on the second leg of their Wildlife Crossings Across America tour, focusing on California. This road trip will highlight the need for wildlife crossings and the new ‘California Wildlife Reconnected’ initiative, a public-private partnership to build more wildlife crossings across the state. The initiative aims to reconnect habitats, protect biodiversity, and ensure the safe passage of wildlife.
California is launching a new initiative called California Wildlife Reconnected, aimed at building more wildlife crossings across the state to improve wildlife movement and protect biodiversity. The initiative is a public-private partnership, led by Governor Gavin Newsom, and is modeled after the successful Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing, which broke ground in 2022. The initiative will be funded through private philanthropy and public conservation dollars, with a focus on leveraging investments from philanthropic leaders.
