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 as plantas corretas cresciam ao longo das bordas de um estacionamento do Costco, e se nos bairros próximos havia plantas nativas no jardim das pessoas, e nos desfiladeiros muito íngremes para pessoas construírem suas casas, havia plantas nativas em vez de gramíneas então todos esses espaços intermediários aumentariam para criar uma rede de fragmentos de habitat.
