Extra open space will help protect the Palos Verdes blue and monarch butterflies, and other rare and endangered species.
Nearly 100 undeveloped acres in Rancho Palos Verdes have been set aside for conservation, connecting to already-preserved land and creating a corridor for rare and endangered wildlife, according to Adrienne Mohan, the executive director for the nonprofit that protects wildland areas on the Palos Verdes Peninsula.
The two have partnered once again, this time on the soon-to-be launched, multimillion-dollar “Go Wild for the Peninsula” campaign, which city and conservancy officials will detail during Friday’s press conference. “What we are creating is truly a wildlife corridor,” Wilcox said, “not for the two-legged, human type.”
The 96 acres is currently in a “mowed down” state, Wilcox said. So native plants — such as deer weed and rattle pod plants, which attract PV blue butterflies — haven’t had a chance to take root. The wildlife corridor will also help protect other species, conservancy officials have previously said, including the coastal California gnatcatcher and the rare cactus wren, as well as mammals such as the gray fox.
