We all know that land preservation and protected corridors are the key ingredients to ensure that our native predators persist and thrive into the next Millenium............my home City of Los Angeles is the focus of a study on the potential for expanding the protected acres of the Santa Monica National Recreation Area......a true jewel in heavily urban SoCal
