A Critical Linkage Wildlife Corridor runs through it
Among Tesla’s many vital biological functions is that a Critical Linkage Habitat Corridor runs through it, with Tesla as the narrow chokepoint. Preventing fragmentation and damage to habitats and movement corridors for plants and wildlife is essential to preserve biodiversity. Protecting Tesla from higher intensity uses and associated facilities development is essential to preserving this critical habitat corridor which supports the Diablo Range. The Critical Linkage Habitat Corridor is one more reason why Tesla should be classified as a Reserve.
