## Resource

A wildlife tunnel in the Santa Cruz Mountains is proving a lifeline for mountain lions, with at least four already using it since its 2022 opening—zero fatalities thanks to added fencing. It’s part of a broader strategy to help these big cats cross deadly highways like Highway 17, where over 300 have been killed since 2016. The tunnel’s success is just a start: researchers urge more crossings, especially on major roads like Highway 101, to combat genetic isolation. Meanwhile, the famed lion 157M, who once roamed into San Francisco, is still being tracked near Los Altos Hills—proof that these majestic animals need vast, connected spaces to survive.
