Mountain Lions: A Crucial Species for Biodiversity

Mountain lions, Rose and Sage, are known for their role as a keystone species and less commonly known as an umbrella species. Keystone species is a species on which other species in an ecosystem largely depend. An umbrella species has either large habitat needs or other requirements whose conservation results in many other species being conserved at the ecosystem or landscape level. Mountain lions play a vital role in supporting ecosystems' health and promoting biodiversity.
