Bear Mountain, a refuge for cougars, mule deer and bobcats, has been added to the Nature Conservancy’s new Frank and Joan Randall Tehachapi Preserve.
When Zachary Principe wants to introduce people to one of his favorite vistas, he takes them to the top of Bear Mountain, a sky island in the Tehachapi Mountains north of Los Angeles where California condors roost in the boughs of sugar pines.
“The preserve is a Grand Central Station of wildlife corridors sustaining gene flows of native wildlife,” Lacey said, “by connecting them to swaths of undeveloped habitat that run from the Sierra Nevada to the Baja Peninsula.”When a coveted ranch on the most pristine river in California was suddenly up for sale, a shocking history — and a massacre — bubbled to the surface.
“In my lifetime, I have witnessed massive changes in the state of nature and have seen open spaces disappear across Southern California,” said Frank Randall. “Time is not on our side. We need to act now.” “We’ve done an amazing job of protecting a lot of the land between Los Angeles County and the Sierra Nevada range,” said Michael Sweeney, the conservancy’s executive director of the California region. “As beautiful as these lands are, however, they are shadows of their former selves.”
Scientists say encroaching development threatens to fragment pasturelands and cut off wildlife corridors with roads and suburbs, diverted stream flows, and weekend crowds. Stebbins’ work aimed to resolve a biological puzzle: Why are two species of a creature in California virtually identical, except in color?
