The Center's Urban Wildlands program protects big cats and other wildlife by halting urban sprawl into adjacent wildlands, ensuring vital space and connectivity. Uncontrolled development in these areas heightens fire risk, increases car dependency, and isolates wildlife populations, particularly mountain lions. This year, significant progress was made in securing greater protections for California's mountain lions and stopping harmful projects.

Learn more about our efforts to safeguard California's mountain lions and wildlife corridors, and discover how you can contribute. The program features insights from Dr. Tiffany Yap, a senior scientist and wildlife corridor advocate, and J.P. Rose, Urban Wildlands Staff Attorney.
