That’s why the Wallis Annenberg wildlife crossing — the largest wildlife bridge in the world — is being built in Los Angeles.
- Role: subject
- In the article: The bridge connects areas of the Santa Monica Mountains on both sides of the 101 freeway. Covering it with 6,000 cubic yards of soil has begun, with planting planned for May.
- Why it matters: It is the headline item of the piece, which is about it as a wildlife habitat project.

This is the Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing under construction over the 101 just outside Los Angeles, California.
- Role: subject
- In the article: The video opens at the crossing under construction over the ten-lane 101, described as the largest of its kind, costing about $92 million. It returns to it for the low-kill-rate-at-high-traffic argument and the isolated southern California cougars it is meant to help.
- Why it matters: It is the anchoring example; the case for building at a high-traffic freeway is made through this site, and without it the piece loses its hook.
