WIP-22, the legendary mountain lion of Los Angeles, captured hearts as he roamed the urban sprawl beneath the Hollywood sign, symbolizing the struggle of wildlife in a world increasingly divided by human development. His story — of surviving against the odds, crossing freeways, and finding sanctuary in Griffith Park — shined a light on the urgent need for wildlife corridors.
P-22’s legacy didn’t end with his passing. His story helped spark a movement for wildlife crossings across the U.S., inspiring cities and conservationists to build safe passages for animals to cross roads and reconnect habitats.
Now, wildlife crossings are being built from coast to coast, saving countless lives and giving species like mountain lions, bears, and elk a fighting chance.
