Saving the Vancouver Island Marmot

[Catherine]

Marmots are one of the most endangered rodents on the planet. There numbers are small and human activity has had a very bad negative impact. The first efforts to save them were a failure and it has taken a lot of creative thinking to help them to survive.

I am impressed with the determination and perseverance of the people working on Marmot recovery. It is slow, but there is improvement. Through the efforts of all involved the Marmots are increasing in numbers, but more importantly they are being returned to areas where they had been lost.

I am especially impressed by people who were out there on the mountainside watching over the Marmots to protect them.
When humans put their hearts and minds to something we can do great things.
