As
our population continues to sprawl into rural areas
conflicts between humans and these magnificent predators
are inevitable.
To
balance the demands for natural resources we will need
to learn more about the little known lifestyle and
habits of the mountain lion, its prey and other life
forms that share its habitat.
| ● |
About
one-half (80,000 sq. miles) of California is
considered mountain lion habitat.
|
| ● |
California
is steadily losing wildlands to development. |
The future of mountain
lions in fragmented habitats depends on protecting critical
habitat and connecting corridors.
It is important that people
understand their role in reducing conflicts with wildlife. |
