The widespread urbanization of Los Angeles has led to significant habitat loss, endangering native plant communities like coastal sage scrub. This loss impacts local wildlife, including pollinators that rely on these plants for survival. Without intervention, the decline of native flora could exacerbate ecological imbalances and water resource strain. Incorporating native plants into gardens can mitigate these risks by restoring habitats and reducing water consumption. However, improper planting or lack of research may limit the effectiveness of these efforts.
