Years ago I donated to a kickstarter or some similar fundraiser where they wanted to build a wildlife bridge across some highway in LA to allow some cougars or something to move a bit more since apparently they’ve been isolated due to humans for some time. Since then I’ve regularly received emails from them with updates and news about the project and about the cougars and it feels wild that I’ve been sort of following the life of a mountain lion (P-22) across the world. I could have just unsubscribed and stopped receiving the emails, and a few times I thought about it but I just… didn’t? Something about getting updates from something I gave a little money to all those years ago just feels kinda wholesome. They’re now building the Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing and while P-22 didn’t get to see it, many other mountain lions hopefully will.

Oh btw they’re accepting donations so if you have anything to spare, it’s a good cause to throw money to: https://savelacougars.org

Might be insignificant in the bigger scale for us but it can change the entire lives of many mountain lions. I’m super happy I played my tiny insignificant part in all of this and I hope this project gets finished.
