A group of organizations is campaigning to save the Ballona Wetlands Ecological Reserve – Los Angeles’ only remaining wetland habitat – from demolition, and they’re inviting you to join the fight.
“Heal the Bay has quietly aligned with the fossil fuel industry on a disastrous plan that will destroy the last remaining wetlands in Los Angeles, put hundreds of species at risk, and perpetuate our reliance on dirty energy,” states a press release from In Defense of Animals.
Over 200 birds, including various songbirds, the white-tailed kite, snowy egret, and burrowing owl, depend on the Ballona wetlands for their survival, especially as a vital stopping point along their migration routes. Others animals, like the grey fox, striped skunk, and slender salamander, also call the wetlands home.
“More than two million cubic yards of dredged or fill material would be repositioned on the project site,” said Michael Zelniker, co-chair of the Climate Reality Project Los Angeles, “resulting in the release [of] sequestered greenhouse gases in potentially substantially large quantities. This unnecessary release of greenhouse gas emissions will only serve to exacerbate the catastrophic consequences of global warming and climate change.”
The organizations collaborating to save the Ballona wetlands are hosting an online Town Hall meeting on Tuesday, April 7 from noon until 1:00 p.m. Pacific Time. Anyone interested can register to join or watch the meeting live on In Defense of Animals’ Facebook page.

Greedy heartless humans destroy everything – it is those beings that have no right to live – they kill every animal they can for a brag, for the profit, for those animals home lands – then the animals are blamed for the illnesses that affect mankind when in fact it is those Evil beings that are to fault for all of it ! Humans MUST be taught to leave the animals alone , leave their homes alone , make due with what you have for space to live and thrive within – without taking from the animals and the earth! If this is not an eye opener and proof enough of what mankind made happen with these deadly illnesses that have killed millions of innocent people and animals (Aids, SARS, Covid-19, ect) THIS IS BECAUSE OF MANKIND NOT THE ANIMALS DOINGS! Stay out of the wetlands , stop cutting down forests, STOP MURDERING ANIMALS – ENOUGH IS ENOUGH – those of you that allow this hell to continue are the ones that should be the ones that pay the ultimate price!

Save your wetlands that protect needed wildlife. If these wetlands are drained Los Angeles will become a dry sandy ghost town with no human or animal life.
Thank you

I guess humanity IS truly doomed. We have the evidence and answers right in front of our eyes. We know how to heal the Earth. And yet, we still destroy everything we touch.
We do not deserve this planet.
We really don’t learn or maybe people just don’t care.
