Reply We need to move beyond mere conservation, toward a kind of environmental rejuvenation, Annenberg said. Wildlife crossings are powerfully effective at doing just that. (Michael Kovac/Getty Images) BEVERLY HILLS, CA Beverly Hills philanthropist Wallis Annenberg, president and CEO of the Annenberg Foundation, is awarding a $25 million challenge grant to the National Wildlife Federation s #SaveLACougars campaign to build a wildlife crossing at Liberty Canyon, over the 101 Freeway. The National Wildlife Foundation said that this is the largest challenge grant it has ever received. The grant stipulates that the 210-foot-bridge - the largest of its kind in the world once complete - will need to secure $35 million to unlock the Annenberg grant. So far, the crossing has raised $44 million, and is estimated to cost $87 million. If the project can secure the grant, it will reach its goal, and break ground in November, according to the Annenberg Foundation.
