Cohabitation: Cities, Nature, and the Evolving Ecosystem
HAMMER | 7:30 p.m., Hammer Museum
The mountain lions P-22 and P-55 have become unlikely stars of Los Angeles nightlife-and symbols of the complicated relationship between nature and cities. This panel examines the intersection of the built environment and Los Angeles’s natural habitat as the region prepares for a hotter and more populous future that can challenge the dynamics between urban environments, wildlife and nature. Lori Bettison-Varga, president of the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, Mia Lehrer, landscape designer of Mia Lehrer + Associates, and Ryan Harrigan, assistant professor for the UCLA Institute of the Environment and Sustainability, join moderator Mark Gold, associate vice chancellor for environment and sustainability at UCLA.
