Ocelot (IMAGE) Wildlife Conservation Society Caption The Texas thornscrub forest of the Lower Rio Grande Valley, provides a habitat for 11 threatened or endangered species, including the ocelot. This is one of 13 new sites to receive funding from the Doris Duke Foundation's Climate Adaptation Fund. As part of a joint mitigation and adaptation project, 270 acres of degraded ranch lands will be restored to functioning thornscrub, making this habitat more adaptive to the changing climate.
