Lisa O'Donnell is an endangered species biologist who has worked for a private firm, DLS Associates, for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and for the City of Austin. Since 2007, she has been the senior biologist at the City's Balcones Canyonlands Preserve, and has seen the challenge of managing lands set aside for the golden-cheeked warbler and other rare species, but located in the midst of, and increasingly encircled by, a rapidly-developing area.
