If the right kinds of plants were growing along the edges of a Costco parking lot, and if in the neighborhoods nearby there were native plants in people's gardens, and in the canyons that were too steep for people to put their suburbs in, there were native plants instead of grasses then all of these in-between spaces would actually add up to create a network of habitat fragments.
Se o tipo certo de plantas crescesse ao longo das bordas de um estacionamento e se, nos bairros vizinhos houvesse plantas nativas nos jardins das pessoas, e se, nos desfiladeiros demasiado íngremes para construção de bairros, houvesse plantas nativas, em vez de ervas, então, todos esses espaços intermédios beneficiariam a criação de uma rede de fragmentos de "habitats".
