LOS ANGELES—Two nonprofits are calling on artists Tuesday to submit their ideas for a future memorial at Griffith Park intended to celebrate the beloved mountain lion P-22.

The memorial is intended to inspire L.A. City residents and visitors to think about their connections with P-22, and how the mountain lion’s legacy transformed conservation efforts. The National Wildlife Federation’s #SaveLACougars campaign and Friends of Griffith Park are leading the project in partnership with the L.A. City Department of Recreation and Parks and City Councilwoman Nithya Raman.
