Helping the lions




Thank you for the excellent article on mountain lions by Sylvie Belmond. I would like to add an additional challenge these wondrous creatures in our community face—the lack of funding for an ongoing research. Studies by the National Park Service on mountain lions in the Santa Monica Mountains has come to a standstill.

While we are all aware of the human toll this weak economy has taken, there are a number of wildlife conservation and protection programs that have been negatively impacted by budget cuts as well.
