LA Zoo Expansion Threatens to Destroy Native Woodlands
Sierra Club Angeles Chapter is calling on the Mayor and City Council to Stop L.A. Zoo's planned destruction of native woodlands. A $650 million LA Zoo expansion would make room for modern animal habitats and veterinary support facilities, but could impact 227 protected native trees like Southern California Black Walnut, Toyons, Coast Live Oak, and other native shrubs. Instead club leaders are asking Angelenos to support the environmentally superior Alternative 1 in the Zoo Vision Plan, which preserves 23 acres of native woodlands.
On the Los Angeles Zoo’s website, the organization states that one of its goals is to “shape a better future for wildlife, humans, and our shared world.” However, recent plans paint this venerable family attraction in a much different light.
