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.
Wenn die richtigen Pflanzenarten am Rande eines  Costco Parkplatzes wuchsen, und wenn in der Nachbarschaft, einheimische Pflanzen in den Gärten waren, und wenn in Schluchten, zu tief für Vororte, einheimische Pflanzen,  statt Gräser sprießten, dann bilden alle diese Zwischenräume, ein Netzwerk an Lebensraum-Fragmenten.
