Los Angeles is a unique city in that it has a wilderness mountain range running through its center stretching from Griffith Park to the Pacific Ocean. For thousands of years wildlife have been traveling in regular migratory patterns and ranges to hunt and breed within those Santa Monica Mountains but ever increasing population and building density in the hillsides are changing entire species and endangered their viability. As wildlife habitats are blocked those animals that survive (such as our Griffith Park mountain lion P22) are being forced down into the urban zones to find food and are increasingly encountering humans. The timing for this motion for a wildlife habitat linkage ordinance is critical. I would like it to be passed now.

Clements <wsclements@aolcom> Date: Wed, May 28, 2014 at 3:40 PM Subject: SUPPORT COUNCIL FILE Wildlife Habitat Linkage Zones Dear Councihnembers Huizar and members of the PLUM Committee, I am writing to you in support of the Wildlife Habitat Linkage Zone ordinance. I live in Hollywoodland on the border of Griffith P ark and closely follow wildlife activity in my surrounding neighborhood. P-22 lives close to my neighborhood, as do bobcats and rattlers and an entire ecosystem of interesting creatures and plants. As wild habitats around here disappear in the face of neighborhood development and increasing public access to Griffith Park, I'm increasingly aware of the importance of wildlife corridors in our community. The linkage between wild areas becomes more and more tenuous. It's important to safeguard and nurture what little of those linkages we have left Please support the Wildlife Habitat Linkage Zones before it's too late. Thanks, Chip Clements 6284 Mulholland Hwy.

We have lived in the Hollywood Dell (above Hollywood and Vine) for almost 51 years. In that time we have seen the building in this area at least double and the size of the houses triple. We are now living with deer and coyotes in our yard. We have encountered a bobcat and P22 has passed through the Dell. These animals have lost their habitats and ability to travel for food and breeding. This motion for a wildlife habitat linkage is of vital importance and should be passed as soon as possible.
