Ballona Wetlands

What about Ballona? Is it protected?

There is so much wildlife at the Ballona Wetlands Ecological Reserve. The Flora & Fauna ~ as well as the open spaces ~ are what motivated the public to work so hard to protect this land, including about 400 acres of land that, as of the 1995-2002 time period, was scheduled to be bulldozed and become part of the Playa Vista development. The public ultimately persuaded the State of California to acquire about 640 acres of land ~ mostly with bond money used by the Wildlife Conservation Board. Now ~ that land, and these wild animals and plants are threatened with a terribly destructive project that would harm and kill wildlife, mechanically alter the terrain and re-make the wilds of Ballona into something more manicured and out of alignment with the wildlife that requires the current mosaic of habitats to survive. Please help protect the Ballona Wetlands Ecological Reserve ~ and when you hear the word “restoration” - remember, it’s really a bulldozing plan that would upset the current equilibrium and kill thousands of animals.
