El Segundo Blue Butterfly and Jet, California, 1994
This species survives only because two small patches of its coastal habitat were left intact. One of those was at the foot of the runway at Los Angeles International Airport. Intensive captive breeding efforts, plus the replanting of coastal dunes by volunteers, saved this creature from extinction.
