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.
