California Science Center LA Zone Flora and Fauna

This project seeks to record the occurrence of plants and animals within a portion of the greater Los Angeles area that is defined by a large map on the wall of the L.A. Zone gallery in our Ecosystems exhibit. The L.A. Zone gallery describes the way Los Angeles, or any urban environment, operates under the same rules and processes of ecological science as any "natural" ecosystem. This includes the occurrence of forms of wildlife, some naturally occurring, some introduced, in urban environments. So what wildlife (plants and animals) are you encountering in the greater Los Angeles region? less ↑
