Rest in peace, P-22. Here's what we can learn from the big cat's legacy as a wild survivor amid urban sprawl.
This past April, on Earth Day, crews broke ground on what will be the world’s largest wildlife crossing — a project partly inspired by P-22’s story. The Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing, a bridge covered with natural vegetation, will span 10 lanes of the 101 Freeway in Agoura Hills, one of the major traffic arteries that P-22 braved and other pumas have died upon. Wildlife biologists hope the project will help facilitate breeding and improve genetic diversity among the species.
“The most fitting memorial to P-22 is how we carry his story forward,” Winter agrees. “He was hit by a car as many cougars are every year, unfortunately.” In the case of P-22, who seemingly did not venture near the freeways again after reaching Griffith, he “never thought this would happen.” Still, he’s optimistic about the conservation efforts this lion helped the state to realize. “Hopefully, California’s mountain lions will bounce back and thrive,” he says.
