## Resource

The Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing, set to open December 2nd, is a $114 million engineering marvel designed to let animals like coyotes, deer, and especially mountain lions safely cross the 101 Freeway—reconnecting habitats shattered by development. Packed with native plants like California poppies and white sage, it’ll be the largest wildlife crossing in North America, bigger than Colorado’s latest. With bets already placed on which critter will be first to use it (coyotes leading), this isn’t just one project—it’s part of a growing movement across Southern California with six more crossings planned. Inspired by the tragic story of P-22, the famous mountain lion whose death exposed habitat fragmentation, these crossings signal a new era: building infrastructure that works for both humans and wildlife, forever changing how we coexist with nature.
