by Elka Worner On the bluff overlooking Abalone Cove, federal, state, and local leaders last month announced the creation of a 96-acre wildlife corridor in Rancho Palos Verdes, which expands the size of the Palos Verdes Nature Preserve to 1,500 acres. 'No longer will this land suffer the threat of bulldozers and development,' Palos Verdes Land Conservancy Executive Director Adrienne Mohan said at the August 26 gathering. The newly preserved land is home to the endangered Palos Verdes blue butterfly, and coastal California gnatcatcher, as well as cactus wrens, raptors, and owls.
