Protected Areas and Critical Habitat
Critical

This map features the regional, state, and national parks in and around Los Angeles. Many of the IUCN Protected Areas can be found within or near park boundaries - but notice that many critical habitat areas (designated by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service) are outside of parks or protected areas. 

 

Successful conservation efforts require the involvement of researchers, land managers, policymakers, and the general public. Would you like to take an active role in protecting biodiversity? Learn how to become a citizen scientist with iNaturalist.
