PALOS VERDES, Calif.—The city of Rancho Palos Verdes and the Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy have announced the launch of a fundraising campaign aimed at creating a 96-acre Los Angeles County wildlife corridor.
The conservancy’s $30 million “Go Wild for the Peninsula” campaign will provide for the corridor’s restoration and benefit natural lands across the peninsula. The coastal corridor will connect coastal lands to the contiguous Palos Verdes Nature Preserve.
“We have a once-in-a-lifetime chance to protect and restore undeveloped coastal California land on the Peninsula,” the conservancy organization’s Executive Director Adrienne Mohan said Aug. 26.
“Precious coastal natural lands have all but disappeared beneath bulldozers and concrete, but this campaign … will benefit our communities, support threatened and endangered species, reduce fire risk, and contribute to California’s 30×30 goal of conserving 30 percent of our lands and coastal waters by 2030,” she said….
