WHY WE’RE HEREWe’re exploring how America defines itself one place at a time.
On a California island, residents and preservationists are feuding over how to protect the habitat for future generations.
Plump quails and miniature foxes unique to the island scurry across the dirt roads that wind through scrubby hillsides.
Thick pillows of fog roll onshore and coat the leaves of rare plants with dew.
But the habitat is suffering because much of the native flora has been ravaged by animals shipped here over the past century for ranching, hunting and filming movies.
