Verified petition for writ of mandate and complaint for declaratory and injunctive relief filed.
Center for Biological Diversity (CBD) challenged the approval of a General Plan Revision for Red Rock Canyon State Park that CBD said would authorize non-street legal, off-highway vehicle (OHV) use of two roads and OHV access to a campground in the park. CBD alleged that the California State Park and Recreation Commission approved the General Plan Revision without adequate analysis of environmental impacts, including cumulative impacts of climate change that would heighten the effects of habitat loss due to impacts to habitat connectivity and wildlife linkages.
