The City of Los Angeles is fortunate to be located within a globally recognized hotspot of native biodiversity. While Los Angeles is a biodiversity jewel, this designation also means that the biodiversity here is threatened, and innovative strategies are needed to ensure its resilience and sustainability. The survival and well-being of the City’s residents also depend on ecosystem services provided by biodiversity.

Nature Pathway
I. Analyze
1. Commit & Mobilize
-
- In May 2017, the City of Los Angeles adopted Motion 25A which directed LA Sanitation and Environment to develop citywide evaluation metrics for a biodiversity index, biodiversity policies and projects, and outreach/community engagement strategies.
- Original Biodiversity Motion. Modified by the motion introduced in 2017.
2. Research & Assess
3. Set Baseline
II. Act
1. Develop Strategy
-
- Los Angeles Sanitation and Environment (LASAN) is pleased to share the 2020 Los Angeles Biodiversity Report, the second such report produced on behalf of the City of Los Angeles (LA). This document builds upon the action items and concepts identified in the 2018 Biodiversity Report, which documented measurement of the Singapore Index on Cities’ Biodiversity for Los Angeles, and contained recommendations for a customized LA City Biodiversity. This report presents 1) the resulting LA City Biodiversity Index, 2) the “ecotopes” spatial management framework, and 3) an approach for measuring urban habitat quality and connectivity in Los Angeles. It also includes a number of biodiversity case studies that serve as emerging models for biodiversity stewardship in Los Angeles.
