Saving a species.
One animal at a time.
There were once fewer than 30 Vancouver Island marmots left in the wild. We are changing that.
Canada’s Most Endangered Mammal
The Vancouver Island Marmot is a remarkable animal. It is endemic to Canada – it occurs here and nowhere else – but our marmot is also Critically Endangered. In 2004, fewer than 30 remained in the wild. Recovery efforts by the Foundation and our partners have been restoring the population.
What we do
Our mission is to save the Vancouver Island marmot from the brink of extinction, and ensure this species has a secure place in the wild.
To do that, we breed and release marmots to the wild, restore habitat, provide supplemental food, and monitor the wild population to understand how the marmots better.
