Restoration of Wildlife Migration Corridors
Los Angeles is a city of stars, but one of its most legendary figures wasn’t an actor or musician: it was a mountain lion. P-22’s amazing journey across LA’s freeways to make a home in Griffith Park turned him into a symbol of resilience, inspiring an unprecedented effort to reconnect fragmented wild habitats nationwide.
This video tells the story of how one fearless cougar sparked a national movement to restore and protect wildlife corridors and led to the construction of the world’s largest wildlife crossing here in Southern California (101 Fwy, Calabasas, CA)

Post-Fire Restortion Watch Stations
Wildfires leave behind more than burned structures -- they damage soil, remove vegetation, and reshape the land for years. Restoration.ICU is creating Post-Fire Restoration Watch Stations in carefully selected locations where the public can safely witness and support the healing process.
Each Watch Station features a Chronolog that invites visitors to take a photo from the same vantage point. These images form a public time-lapse record showing how burned land stabilizes, how plants return, and how life gradually reestablishes itself.
These stations give residents, visitors, and well-wishers a respectful way to engage without entering private neighborhoods, while providing scientists and agencies with valuable data on soil recovery, runoff, vegetation succession, and wildlife return.
It is restoration you can see -- and be part of.

Restoring Life Beneath Our Feet
Southern California’s soil once teemed with life, connecting plants, microbes, and pollinators in a thriving web. Urban growth and industrial farming have severed those natural ties, leaving behind paved ground, polluted runoff, and sterile fields.
FloralReef.org is working to reverse that decline—rebuilding living soil and creating small “reefs” of pollinator habitat in schoolyards, backyards, and roadsides. Each patch becomes a refuge for bees, butterflies, and native plants—and a step toward restoring the balance our environment depends on.
No lofty environmental promises, just small, careful acts of stewardship, reviving patches of land to make them useful, beautiful, and alive again. Each restored space protects what’s fragile, welcomes wildlife, and becomes a place to share with others and hand down to future generations.
Mitigation Banking Restoration, I See You.
Los Angeles can become a world model for ecological accountability—turning development into a driver of restoration rather than destruction.
By linking financial tools like mitigation banking with community-powered storytelling through Chronolog, we can show the world that progress and restoration can coexist.
When visitors arrive for the World Cup and Olympics, let them see more than new stadiums and highways.

Largest Tidal Habitat Restoration in California History

Senior News Editor, SFGate, Sep 23, 2024
Lookout Slough marks “the largest tidal restoration project in California history,” Wade Crowfoot, California’s natural resources secretary, said in a video posted on social media. The tearing down of the levee is among the final steps in a public-private project to restore tidal land — which was turned over to farmers and duck hunters — to its natural state.
