Light-footed Ridgway’s Rail on the Edge

July 12, 2023November 11, 2019

Invasive species, feral dogs, the surrounding urban and agricultural growth, and climate change threaten the coastal wetland of Punta Banda and the Light-footed Ridgway’s Rail. We need a protection formula that allows Ensenada to care for its landscape, because the rail’s health depends on the health of the ecosystem.
