With urban nature threatened by pollution, climate change, and habitat loss, the city is making a push to preserve its beautiful biodiversity
Source: L.A. Is Now a Certified Wildlife Habitat. Here’s Why It’s a Big Deal
What a wonderful thing, an entire city. There are probably other cities but I am unfortunately unaware of them. I am focusing on LA. And it is wonderful that the National Wildlife Federation has made this push. Native wildlife really needs clean water too. And in addition LA has plowed under more than 99 percent of its freshwater wetlands in order to build high-rise. La Cienega (one of the major thoroughfares in LA) means the swamp, bog, or wetland. It is gone!
All that freshwater wetland habitat is gone!
Converting your backyard, toxic, chlorinated, chemical cesspool of a swimming pool to a green clean wildlife machine would be an awesome thing to do.
Best to you all.
