This World's Largest Animal Crossing Will Open This Year-and It's in California
""Ensuring that wildlife remain on our landscapes into the future across the Golden State requires that we address the devastation that freeways and roadways have caused to ecosystems, fragmenting them into islands that threaten wildlife large and small with extinction.""
""Without this wildlife crossing, mountain lions could vanish from the area within our lifetime.""
The Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing, set to open on December 2, 2026, will connect wildlife habitats divided by the U.S. Route 101 freeway in Agoura Hills, California. This crossing aims to reduce animal deaths and car crashes by allowing safe passage for species like bears, bobcats, and mountain lions. The project is crucial for the mountain lion population, which faces threats from limited genetic diversity and habitat fragmentation. It will link the Santa Monica Mountains with surrounding open spaces, promoting ecosystem health and wildlife conservation.
