Residents of the Bay area may be surprised to know how often mountain lions move among them….with negligible conflict. Mountain lions are an important part of the ecosystem. They prevent overgrazing and loss of habitat flora by ungulates, they
reduce herd size by keeping the deer on the move and they prevent rapid spread of diseases. The best news is that they don’t seem to want to be discovered! Their reclusive behavior points to deliberate avoidance of humans.http://www.pressdemocrat.com/news/3440775-181/caught-on-camera-mountain-lions
There is exceptionally good news coming from California. Encroachment and fragmentation are the enemies of wildlife and just when mountain lions started exhibiting birth defects from lack of genetic diversity, the state came through with ONE MILLION dollars towards the Liberty Canyon Wildlife Crossing.
We salute you California!
