📰 Apex Predators Are Quietly Reshaping the West

🦅 Western U.S.: Bald eagles, gray wolves, condors, and black bears are back from the brink due to decades of environmental policy, habitat restoration, and public support.

🌄 Their return is restoring ecological function at landscape scale, from scavenger networks to trophic balance, even as some species adapt to more urbanized terrain.

🤝 Coexistence now depends on community‑level choices: wildlife‑friendly ranching, lead‑free hunting, habitat connectivity, and everyday tolerance that allows wide‑ranging species to move, feed, and reproduce safely.

#Ecology101 - #Wildlife corridors

By admin - December 17, 2025 608

"In an increasingly human-dominated world, the natural landscapes that once stretched unbroken for miles are now often fragmented, carved up by roads, cities, and agricultural fields. This #fragmentation creates isolated 'islands' of habitat, trapping wildlife populations and threatening their long-term survival. Imagine a vibrant ecosystem, bustling with diverse life, suddenly cut into pieces. This is the challenge that wildlife corridors seek to address, offering a lifeline to nature by re-stitching the fabric of our planet.

The Urgent Need for Connectivity

Habitat fragmentation is a silent crisis, severing the vital connections that allow species to thrive. When large natural areas are broken into smaller, isolated patches, animals find themselves confined. This confinement leads to several critical problems:

- Limited Resources: Smaller areas mean fewer food sources, less water, and reduced shelter, especially during seasonal changes.
- Increased Vulnerability: Isolated populations are more susceptible to local extinction from disease, natural disasters, or even random events. A single wildfire or severe storm could wipe out an entire population.
- Genetic Isolation: Perhaps the most insidious threat is the loss of genetic diversity. Without the ability to move and breed with individuals from other populations, species become inbred, weakening their resilience to environmental changes and diseases.

Wildlife corridors emerge as a powerful solution to these challenges. They are essentially pathways of habitat that connect otherwise isolated natural areas, allowing animals to move safely between them. These connections are crucial for maintaining healthy, robust ecosystems."

#California - #WildlifeCorridors and #HabitatConnectivity

#CLAW envisions a connected network of habitat throughout the #SantaMonicaMountains, and beyond.

"For thousands of years, wildlife has been traversing the Santa Monica Mountains along well-established migratory patterns in order to find food, water, shelter, and mating opportunities. As urban sprawl spreads through this region, access to these routes becomes blocked or dangerous.

What CLAW is doing

CLAW is taking a multi-pronged approach to protecting connected habitat blocks and wildlife corridors in #LosAngeles.

- Wildlife Corridor Ordinance: CLAW successfully advocated for the City of Los Angeles to designate the eastern Santa Monica Mountains (between the 405 and 101 Freeways) as LA's first #WildlifeDistrict. The City Planning Department’s preliminary work for this ordinance can be seen in the Wildlife Pilot Study.
UPDATE: In December 2022, LA City’s Planning Commission voted to support the Wildlife Ordinance! The last step before a full City Council vote is the Planning and Land Use Committee. Follow our advocacy on this ordinance here.

- Land Acquisition: CLAW and partner organizations fundraised over $1.6 million to acquire 17 acres of critical connective habitat in #LaurelCanyon in our Let's Buy A Mountain campaign. CLAW's nature cam documented the use of this land by multiple species of animals, including mountain lion and gray fox. This land, one of the largest parcels in the eastern Santa Monica Mountains, is a keystone portion of an established wildlife corridor.

- #ConservationEasements: CLAW holds a conservation easement on a parcel of open space habitat in the Santa Monica Mountains. Conservation easements are binding agreements that ensure the land will remain natural and undeveloped in perpetuity.

- Corridor Watchdog: In April 2018, CLAW filed an appeal against the approval of an 8,000 square foot house planned for development over an ecologically unique hillside stream area with multiple protected trees. The Los Angeles Planning Department failed to properly evaluate the importance of this land as a wildlife corridor connecting two crucial habitat hubs. Unfortunately, this construction project is continuing with full approval. CLAW will continue to monitor critical connective habitat sites to ensure that environmental review is thoroughly analyzed and considered."

📰 Wildlife Crossings Are Gaining Popularity Around the World

🌏 Earth: Recent reporting highlighted the growing use of wildlife crossings to reconnect habitats fragmented by roads.

🚗 These structures help reduce vehicle collisions, support threatened wildlife, and improve genetic diversity by reconnecting isolated populations.

🤝 Crossings are proven, practical infrastructure solutions that benefit both people and wildlife with long-term conservation value.

🪂 PARACHUTING BEAVERS
Save the Day 🦫🥇

After WW2, beavers in conflict with human neighbors had to be moved from suburbs to an Idaho mountains river basin.

✈️ No usual method of transportation worked in the dense slopes, so they attached spring-loaded boxes to parachutes, put in 76 beavers, and chunked them out of a plane.

It worked. There is video.

😲 Recent imaging of the beaver reintroduction landscape shows
🔥🧯 wildfire impacts were reduced
🌳 🌲 vegetation level was also higher

🦉 Toxic Wastelands and Former War Zones Are Accidentally Becoming Some of the World’s Most Successful Wildlife Sanctuaries

🔸 Some "involuntary parks" have been designated especially for wildlife
🔸 Fish, birds, and sea mammals are among the wildlife supported by these areas
🔸 Endangered species are reappearing

This incredible footage shows some of the 600 Rainbow lorikeets (Trichoglossus moluccanus) being released back into the wild after surviving Lorikeet Paralysis Syndrome (LPS) 🦜

The mysterious condition has afflicted hundreds of birds, causing them to lose balance and be unable to fly despite not showing any apparent injuries.⁠

Learn more about LPS, the hard work that saw our lorikeets recover, and the headway being made to uncover the cause: ausgeo.co/lps

163: The EU Review of Wolf Protection Status

https://open.spotify.com/episode/3TIXgTU3Rd1Lcn2moMsz0l

The human-wildlife conflict with wolves has been brewing on the ground in the EU for some time. On the one hand, it has been fueled by a remarkable recovery of wolves across the continent, and on the other, by politicians trying to hijack it for their political gains. In September 2023 the European Commission invited “local communities, scientists and all interested parties” to submit the latest data in order to review the conservation status of wolves and decide whether to downgrade the conservation status of the species. Predictably this has sparked a lot of debate with clear demarcation lines between factions.

https://youtu.be/oITfPp9o3ac

To deal with this topic I decided to change the format of the podcast and in this episode, you will hear from not one but five experts in their fields. I felt the subject is so complex that to present it in the most comprehensive and objective way we need to hear all the relevant voices. By listening to this episode you will hear opinions on this topic from a wildlife biologist, Professor John Linnell, a goat breeder, Bruno Lecomte, a social scientist, ​​Professor Erica von Essen, an environmentalist, the Head of EU Policy at BirdLife International, Ariel Brunner and, last but not least, the Secretary General of the European Federation for Hunting and Conservation, Dr David Scallan. Special thanks to hunting journalist and blogger Denis Plat for his help in ensuring that opinions from rural France were voiced. Cover photo courtesy of Alick Simmons.

While making this episode I recorded many hours of material and understandably not all of it made it into the episode. If you would be interested in listening to the individual interviews with the guests in this podcast, please click here.

The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the individual participants and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of any organisation. The participants are expressing their personal opinions and perspectives.
