May 2, 2023, Los Angeles, California, USA: A view of the Ballona Wetlands Ecological Preserve during a spring bloom. The Ballona Wetlands once encompassed an area of over 2,000 acres, stretching from Playa del Rey to Venice and inland to the Baldwin Hills. Today, less than 600 acres of open space remain, with much of that area highly impacted and degraded after centuries of development and abuse. (Credit Image: © Jonathan Alcorn/ZUMA Press Wire)
